Hands-free tailgate
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 insert a finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate - risk of
serious injury!
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).
To avoid the risk of injury through pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the motorised tailgate:
–
ensure that there is no-one close to the
rear of the vehicle,
–
monitor the activity of the rear passengers,
particularly any children.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The motorised tailgate is not designed to support
a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on a towbar
with connection of a cable to the towbar socket,

Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
►
T
o operate the panoramic sunroof or the
blind, use the buttons in the roof console.
A. Sunroof blind control
B. Sunroof control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45
seconds after
turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk
of serious injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars do not interfere
with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a shower
or washing the vehicle, wait until it is
completely dry before opening.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Check the condition of the sunroof seals
regularly (presence of dust or deposits,
dead leaves, etc.).
If using a car wash, check first that the roof is
correctly closed and keep the high-pressure
jet at least 30 centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. All intermediate positions
are allowed.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle,
the partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.

sunroof or blind, you should reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing
the control in question.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the sunroof and blind correctly.
Anti-pinch system
If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle
when closing, the movement is automatically
reversed.
The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be
effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120
km/h).
Opening / Closing

movement.
►
When holding a button (without going
beyond the point of resistance), the movement
of the sunroof or blind stops when this button is
released.
►
When the sunroof is closed: pressing once
without passing the point of resistance moves it
to a partially open position.
►
When the sunroof is partially open: pressing
once without passing the point of resistance
opens or closes it fully
.
The roof and windows, then the blind, can be closed by holding down the door
locking control. The operation stops as soon
as the locking control is released.
Closing of the blind is limited by the
position of the sunroof: the blind cannot
go further than the front of the mobile glass.
During simultaneous movements of the
sunroof and blind, the blind automatically
stops or resumes movement depending on
the position of the sunroof.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery or in the
event of a fault or jerky movement of the sunroof
or blind, reinitialisation is required.
►
Check that nothing is interfering with the
sunroof or blind and that the seals are clean.
►
With the ignition on, fully close the sunroof
and blind.

Safety
– a child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
– the keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
Child seat at the front
► Adjust the front passenger seat to the
highest and fully back 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 .
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Child seats
The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–
In accordance with European regulations, all
children under the age of 12 or less than one
and a half metres tall must travel in approved
child seats suited to their weight , on seats
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–
Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
– A child weighing less than 9 kg must travel
in the "rearward facing" position both in the
front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–
"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
–
"forward facing" over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle.
If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Children at the rear
A child seat with ISOFIX or i-Size
mountings must never be installed on the
centre rear passenger seat.
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.
Use 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 child alone and unattended in a vehicle,
