Bicycle carrier/Towing device
The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a
bicycle carrier on a towing
device with connection of a
cable to the towing
socket, the motorised operation of the tailgate
will be automatically deactivated.
If using a
towing device or bicycle carrier not
recommended by CITROËN, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.

Access" function (confirmed by lighting/
extinction of the green indicator lamp).
Repeatedly opening and closing the
