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
