Motorised tailgate
General points
Never place a finger in the locking mechanism   of   the   motorised   tailgate   -  
R

isk   of   serious   injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate includes a system for   detecting   obstacles,   which   automatically  
i

nterrupts and reverses the movement by a few
degrees,
  to   allow   the   obstacle   to   be   cleared.
Note that this anti-pinch system does not
operate
  at   the   end   of   the   closing   movement  
(

around   1   cm   before   complete   closure).
The
 
motorised
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
tailgate
 
can
 b
e
 
activated
 
or
 
deactivated
 
by
 
selecting
 "
M
otorised tailgate " in the Driving menu of
the
 
touch
 
screen
 
tablet.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The tailgate is not designed to be fitted with a b icycle   carrier.
If a bicycle carrier is fitted to a towbar with a
wiring
  harness   connected   to   a   towbar   socket,  
t

he   motorised   operation   of   the   tailgate   is  
a

utomatically
 d
eactivated.
If
  using   a   towbar   or   bicycle   carrier   not   approved  
b

y CITROËN, it is essential to deactivate the
motorised
  operation   of   the   tailgate.
Tailgate
 
operation
 
commands
 
must
 
be
 
made
 
w

ith
 
the
 
vehicle
 
stationary.
Ensure
 
that
 
there
 
is
 
enough
 
free
 
space
 
to
 
allow
 
t

he
 
motorised
 
tailgate
 
to
 
open. To
 
avoid
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
injury
 
through
 
p

inching
 
or
 
trapping,
 
before
 
and
 
during
 
o

peration
 
of
 
the
 
tailgate:
-

e

nsure that there is no person close
to the rear of the vehicle,
-
w
atch the behaviour of rear
passengers,
 par

ticularly
 c

hildren.

Operating faults
If several foot movements below the rear
bumper  fail   to   open   the   tailgate,   wait   a  
f

ew seconds   before   starting   again.
The function is automatically deactivated in the
event
  of   heavy   rain   or   accumulation   of   snow.
If
  the   function   fails   to   operate,   check  
t

hat   the   electronic   key   is   not   exposed   to  
s

trong   electromagnetic   inter ference   (a  
s

mar tphone, ...).
The
  function   may   not   work   correctly   with   a  
pro

sthetic
 le
g.
The
  function   may   not   work   correctly   if   your  
v

ehicle   is   fitted   with   a   towbar. In
  some   circumstances,   the   tailgate   may   only  o
pen   or   close,   particularly   if:
-

y
our vehicle is fitted with a towbar,
-

y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-

y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-

y
ou load or unload bicycles from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
-
 
y
ou   place   or   lift   something   behind   the  
v

ehicle,
-
an

animal approaches the bumper,
-
 
y
ou   are   washing   your   vehicle,
-
 
a
  service   is   being   carried   out   on   your  
v

ehicle,
-
 
y
ou   are   accessing   the   spare   wheel  
(

depending
 o
n
 v
ersion).
To
  avoid   such   operating   problems,   keep   the  
e

lectronic   key   away   from   the   recognition   zone  
o

r   deactivate   "Hands-Free   Tailgate   Access".
Ensure
  that   no   object   or   person   might   prevent  
t

he   correct   opening   or   closing   of   the   tailgate.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating
  the   tailgate.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the
  axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
  engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to   the   corresponding   section.
The   rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated automatically to avoid the
audible
  signal   if   a   genuine   CITROËN  
t

owbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top the vehicle and switch off
the
  engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes,   the   use   of  
e

ngine   braking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n the trailer and the headlamp beam
height
  of   your   vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.

Blind spot monitoring system
Activation / Deactivation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the   side   in   question:
-
 
i
mmediately,   when   being   overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking
  a   vehicle   slowly.
This
 
driving
 
assistance
 
system
 
warns
 
the
 
driver
 o
f the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot
 
angle
 
of
 
their
 
vehicle
 
(areas
 
masked
 
from
 
t

he
 
driver's
 
field
 
of
 
vision),
 
as
 
soon
 
as
 
this
 
p

resents
 
a
 
potential
 
danger. Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor
  the   blind   spots.
This
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
improve
 
safety
 
when   driving   and   is   in   no   circumstances   a  
s

ubstitute
 
for
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
interior
 
rear
 
view
 
mirror   and   door   mirrors.   It   is   the   driver's  
r

esponsibility
 
to
 
constantly
 
check
 
the
 
traffic,
 
to   assess   the   distances   and   relative   speeds   of  
o

ther
 
vehicles
 
and
 
to
 
predict
 
their
 
movements   before   deciding   whether   to   change   lane.
The
 
blind
 
spot
 
monitoring
 
system
 
can
 
never
 
replace   the   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the  
d

river. Activation of the function is done in the touch
screen
 t

ablet.
F
I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
assistance " tab, then "Blind spot

The state of the system remains in memory on
switching   off   the   ignition.
F

T
o deactivate the system, select "Blind
spot monitoring "
  again   in   the   "Driving
assistance " tab of the Driving
 

menu.
The
  indicator   lamp   goes   off.
The system is automatically deactivated

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The system will be deactivated
automatically
  if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
As
 
an
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
 
vehicle   remains   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h). The   parking   sensors   can   be   deactivated   in   the
