starting related to a lack of
AdBlue
®
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue

it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. The remote control may stop
working and would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control cannot operate when
the key is in the reader, even when the
ignition is switched on.
Electrical interference
The

K
eyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering wheel to
engage the steering lock.
Access

Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), take the electronic key with you when
you leave the vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.
Back-up procedures
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
r egistration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the
key code and the transponder code required to
order a
new key.

ehicle moving (speed above
6
mph (10 km/h)), this warning
lamp and a


message appear
in the instrument panel (digital
monochrome and 12
inch colour)
for a
few seconds, accompanied
by an audible signal. 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.
The motorised operation of the tailgate can
be activated or deactivated by selecting
" Motorised tailgate " in the Driving menu of
the touch screen.
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

50
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.
