2Closing the windows and the sunroof
Maintaining pressure on the door handle or
the tailgate control allows the windows and,
depending on version, the sunroof to be closed
to the desired position.
This operation also closes the sunroof blind.
Make sure that no item or person could
prevent the correct closing of the
windows and sunroof.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the windows.
Illumination of the direction indicators for a few
seconds signals:
–

the locking of the vehicle for versions without
alarm,
–


the activation of the alarm for other versions.
Depending on version, the door mirrors fold.
For safety and theft protection reasons,
never leave the electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt etc.) on the inner surface of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner surface of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to open
the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking deactivates the exterior and
interior door controls, as well as the
central locking button on the dashboard.
The horn remains operational.
You must therefore never leave anyone inside
the vehicle when it is deadlocked.
►

With the electronic key in recognition zone A

,
press once with your finger or thumb on the door
handle of one of the front doors (at the markings)
or on the locking control located on the tailgate
(at the right of the control) to lock the vehicle.
►

Within 5 seconds, press the door handle
again to deadlock the vehicle.
Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
The remote control does not work
when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
remember to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services
to enter the passenger compartment in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from
the ignition or take the electronic key with you
when leaving 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 able to
start the vehicle.

Access
► press button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (deletion is confirmed by a
long audible signal).
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing the motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas struts.
Resistance to opening and closing is therefore
entirely normal.
Repeatedly opening and closing the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating
of its electric motor, after which opening and
closing will not be possible.
Allow at least 10 minutes for the electric
motor to cool down before operating the
tailgate again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it manually.
Manual closing of the
motorised tailgate in case of
failure
This operation is only necessary 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.

► Position yourself behind the vehicle by the
number plate and perform a “kicking” movement
in the
"OK" detection zone.
The “kicking” movement must be given forwards,
smoothly, not too fast and with a vertical
movement from low to high. Raise the foot
sufficiently and remove it immediately.
The taking into account of the “kicking”
movement is confirmed by the lighting of the
direction indicators.
"Sideward kicking" movements do not
work. If the “kicking” movement has not
been detected, wait at least 2 seconds before
repeating the movement.
Do not perform repetitive “kicking”
movements.
If the tailgate has not started to open, check that:
–

the function is activated.
–


the electronic key is on your person, outside
the vehicle in the rear recognition area.
–


the “kicking” movement was performed in the
detection zone, close enough to the bumper

.
–

the foot was removed from the bumper quickly
enough.
Automatic locking with the hands-free
function
The automatic locking of the vehicle with
the hands-free function can be activated/
deactivated via the Driving/V
ehicle touch
screen menu.
Recommendations on the hands-free
function ("Hands-Free Tailgate Access")
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open or
close by itself, particularly when:
–

hitching up or removing a trailer;
–


fitting or removing a bicycle carrier;
– loading or unloading bicycles on / from a
bicycle carrier;
–

depositing or lifting something behind the
vehicle;
–


an animal approaches the rear bumper;
–


washing the vehicle;
–


maintenance is performed on the vehicle;
–


accessing the spare wheel.
T

o avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone or
deactivate the hands-free function.
The installation of a towing device may disturb the detection system.
