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.
Operation Motorised opening
Tailgate opening using the
electronic key/remote control (A)
F Hold the remote control button
down for several seconds.
or
Tailgate opening using the
"Keyless Entry and Starting"
system (B)
F Press control B on the tailgate with the
electronic key within the coverage zone.
When selective locking is activated, the
electronic key must be close to the rear of
the vehicle.
Opening the tailgate
F After the vehicle is fully unlocked, press control B on the tailgate.
The command is confirmed by an audible beep.
By default, the tailgate opens fully or to the
stored position.
There are several ways of operating the
motorised tailgate: -

u

sing the electronic key of the

K

eyless Entry
and Starting system (A) ,
-

u

sing the exterior tailgate control (B),
-

u

sing the interior tailgate control (C)
,
-

w

ith a

kicking movement, if your vehicle has
the hands-free function.
For more information on the Hands-free
tailgate , refer to the corresponding section.

At any point, it is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate:Repeated opening and closing of the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating
of its electric motor, after which opening
and closing will not be possible.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten
minutes before operating the tailgate
again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
If an obstacle (person or object) is
encountered, the anti-pinch system stops the
closing movement and raises the tailgate by
a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle.
Memorising an opening
position
To cancel the memorised position:
- s top the tailgate in an intermediate position,
-

p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3
seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed by an audible signal.
Manual operation
Motorised closing
There are two options:
F
P ress and release the exterior control B .
or
The motorised tailgate has a safety anti-
p inch feature which interrupts the closing
movement if there is something in the way.
F Press button C and release it.
-
b
y pressing one of these
two buttons,
or
-

b
y pressing the exterior
control B .
After a
movement is interrupted, pressing
one of the controls again restarts the
movement, unless you press the remote
control button, which only controls
opening. Where height is restricted (garage with a
low
ceiling, etc.) it is possible to limit the opening
angle of the motorised tailgate.
This memorisation is done as follows:
-

o
pen the tailgate to the desired position,
-

p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3
seconds.
Memorisation of the maximum opening position
of the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal. The motorised tailgate can be opened and
closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual operation must be done
with the tailgate first stopped.
During manual operations to open or close
the motorised tailgate, you will no longer be
assisted by the struts. Resistance to opening
and closing is therefore entirely normal.
Reinitialising the motorised
tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
reconnecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F

O
pen the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F

F
ully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or qualified workshop.

Practical information

231
12 V battery
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead.
They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and must
not, in any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a
special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a
well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located on the upper
part of the bonnet (next to the battery).
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a
battery booster.
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a
battery charger.
Never use a
24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and
a
capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F

r

elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
F

r

aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F

l

ift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.
