Manual closing of the
motorised tailgate in case
of failure
This operation is only necessar y in the case
of failure of the tailgate motor.
If the failure originates from the battery, it is
recommended to recharge it or change it with
the tailgate closed .
In this situation, a significant force may be
needed to close the tailgate.
F
C
lose it gently without slamming, as slowly
as possible, by pushing at the centre of the
tailgate.
Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at one
of its sides – risk of damage!
Precautions in use
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-
d
eactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-
o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate
closed. In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove
the snow or wait until the ice melts before
requesting motorised opening of the
tailgate.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
Recommendations related
to the "
Hands-Free Tailgate
Access " function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a
few seconds
before trying again.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a
build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone, etc.).
The function may not work correctly with
a
prosthetic leg. The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a
towing device.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:
-
y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-
y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-
y
ou load or unload bicycles from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
-
y
ou place or lift something behind the
vehicle,
-
an
animal approaches the rear bumper,
-
y
ou are washing your vehicle,
-
y
our vehicle is being serviced,
-
y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate "Hands-Free Tailgate Access".
After installing a towing device, it is
essential to contact a
CITROËN dealer
or a
qualified workshop so that it is taken
into account by the detection system.
Other wise, risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function failure.

Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
t
he "rear ward facing" child seat,
-
t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
A child seat with ISOFIX or i-Size
mountings must never be installed on the
centre rear passenger seat.
Children at the front
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed. Installing a
booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a
booster seat with
backrest, equipped with a
belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a
vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.Child seat at the front
When a child seat is installed on the
f ront passenger seat , adjust this seat
to the highest position , in the rearmost
longitudinal position , with the backrest
straightened .
"Rearward facing "
The front passenger airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .
"Forward facing "
You must leave the front passenger airbag
active.
