Reinitialising electric doors
If electrical operations no longer work:
F
F
ully close the door(s) manually .
F
F
ully open the door(s) electrically .
F
C
lose the door(s) electrically .
On completion of this procedure, electric
operation of the doors is restored.
However, if a problem persists following this
procedure, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
On a steep slope
It is possible to open and close the doors
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
If the vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the
vehicle facing up the slope, open the door with
care. The door may open more quickly due to
the incline. On a steep slope, guide the side door manually
to help it to close.
If your vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the
vehicle facing down the slope, the door may not
stay open and may close violently
with the risk
of injury.
In the case of a steep slope, the door
may be driven by its own weight and
as a consequence may open or close
violently .
There would not be time for action at the
electric controls to take effect.
There would not be time for the
obstacle detection system to react.
Take care not to leave the vehicle on a
steep slope with the door(s) open without
supervision. If this advice is not followed,
injuries or damage may occur if a person
or an object is trapped or caught.
Hands-free sliding side
d o o r (s)
Opening/Closing
The automatic locking after closing the
door can be programmed in the vehicle
configuration menu.
With a movement of your foot while keeping
the remote control on your person in the
recognition zone A
, the system unlocks and
opens the sliding side door or closes and locks
it.
The remote control must be located at the rear
of the vehicle, at least about 30 cm but no more
than about 2 m from the vehicle.

Before making the movement with your
foot, ensure that you are steady and well
positioned, so that you do not lose your
balance (rain, snow, ice, mud, etc.).
Take care not to touch the exhaust tailpipe
when making the movement with your
foot - risk of burns.
Make the movement without interruption
and do not repeat it immediately
after wards or several times.
If the door does not open, wait about
2
seconds before trying again.
Do not keep the foot in the air.
Automatic locking
The vehicle locks itself following the hands-free
closing of the sliding door.
Activation/Deactivation
With audio system or touch
screen
By default, hands-free access is activated.
The "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function or automatic vehicle locking
when the sliding door is closed is
activated and deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
Operating fault
An audible signal repeated three times
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
F
P
ut your foot beneath the corner of the rear
bumper, then move the foot at normal speed
with a sweeping side movement.
The sensor detects the foot approaching and
leaving and triggers the opening or closing of
the side door. Confirmation that the door is going to
open or close is signalled by the direction
indicators flashing for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
The movement of the door is reversed
if the movement of the foot takes place
during the manoeuvre.
If the vehicle is so equipped, the electric
door mirrors fold/unfold on locking/
unlocking the vehicle.
If your vehicle is not fitted with an alarm,
locking is confirmed by fixed illumination
of the direction indicators for about two
seconds.
Depending on your version, the door
mirrors fold at the same time.

If the "Hands-free access self-locking "
option is selected in the vehicle menu and
after closing the door, make sure that the
vehicle is locked.
This is because locking will not take place:
-
i
f the ignition is on,
-
i
f one of the doors or the tailgate is
open,
-
i
f a "Keyless Entry and Starting"
remote control is inside the vehicle.
If a number of actions with your foot have
no effect, wait a few seconds before
starting again.
The system is automatically deactivated in
heavy rain or with accumulations of snow.
If it does not work, make sure that the
remote control is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic interference
(smartphone, etc.).
Operation may be affected if using a
prosthetic leg.
This system may not work correctly if the
vehicle is fitted with a towing device. The side door may open or close
erratically if:
-
t
he vehicle is fitted with a towball,
-
a t
railer is being hitched or unhitched,
-
a b
icycle carrier is being attached or
detached,
-
b
icycles are being loaded or unloaded
on a bicycle carrier,
-
s
omething is being placed or lifted
behind the vehicle,
-
an
animal approaches the bumper,
-
t
he vehicle is being washed,
-
y
our vehicle is being serviced,
-
a w
heel is being changed.
To avoid unwanted operation, keep the
key away from the detection zone (also
from the boot’s interior sides) or deactivate
the function in the vehicle configuration
menu.Side-hinged rear doors
F After first opening the left-hand door, pull the lever A towards you to open the right-
hand door.
Closing
F First close the right-hand door, then the left-hand door.
If the left-hand door is closed
first, a buffer stop located on
the edge of the right-hand
door prevents it closing.
Ensure that no person or object could
prevent the correct opening or closing of
the doors.
Be aware of children when operating the
doors.
If the left-hand side-hinged door is not fully
closed, the "door open" warning lamp comes
on (the right-hand door is not detected). For
more information on the list of warning and
indicator lamps and in particular the door
open warning, refer to the corresponding
section.

Opening to approximately 180°
When parked with the rear
doors open to 90°, the doors
conceal the rear lamps. To
signal the vehicle's position
to other road users driving in
the same direction who may
not have seen the stopped
vehicle, use a warning
triangle or other device
required by the legislation in
your country.
If fitted to the vehicle, a check strap system

In the event of a fault or difficulties felt in
manoeuvring the tailgate when opening
or closing it, have it quickly checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
to stop this issue getting worse and so
as to not cause the tailgate to drop, and
serious injuries. If the tailgate rear screen is not properly
closed, the "
door open" warning lamp comes
on. For more information on the list of warning
and indicator lamps and in particular the

The system only checks for the
variation in volume inside the cab .
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window or enters the
vehicle's cab but will not be
triggered if someone enters the
loading area . The system checks for any
variation in the volume in the
passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window, enters the
passenger compartment or moves
inside the vehicle.
Self-protection function
