Motorised tailgate
General points
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary.
Check that there is enough space to allow for
the movement of the motorised tailgate.
Never introduce a
finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate – Risk of
a
serious injury!
Safety anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1
cm from completely closed).
Access
49
To avoid the risk of injury through pinching
or trapping, before and during operation of
the motorised tailgate:
-
e
nsure that there is no person close to
the rear of the vehicle,
-
m
onitor the activity of your rear
passengers, particularly any children.
Bicycle carrier/Towing device
The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a
bicycle carrier on a towing
device with connection of a
cable to the towing
socket, the motorised operation of the tailgate
will be automatically deactivated.
If using a
towing device or bicycle carrier
not approved by CITROËN, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.
