Access
When opening and closing a motorised tailgatemanually, there is no assistance from gas-filledstruts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.

Reinitialising the tailgate
Tailgate release

Unlocking
)Fold back the rear seats to gain access to
the lock from inside the boot.)Insert a small screwdriver into hole Aof thelock to unlock the tailgate. )Move the latch to the left.



Locking after closing

If the fault persists after closing again, the boot
will remain locked. The motorised tailgate can be opened and
closed manually, even if motorisation is
activated.
Precautions in use
In the event of an accumulation of snow on the tailgate, clear the snow before commanding an automatic opening of the tailgate.The formation of ice can block thetailgate and prevent its opening: waituntil the ice melts with the heating of the passenger compartment.When washing the vehicle in anautomatic car wash, don't forget tolock your vehicle to avoid the risk of unexpected opening. Repeated opening and closing of thetailgate can cause overheating of its electric motor, after which opening andclosing will not be possible. Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool
down before operating the tailgate again.

This operation is necessary where there is no movement - after detection of an obstacle, after connecting or recharging the battery, ... )Open the tailgate by hand, if necessary. )Manually close the tailgate fully.

Access to the battery

Procedure for star ting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification;the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.

After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start system will only be active after acontinuous period of immobilisation of thevehicle, a period which depends on theclimatic conditions and the state of chargeof the battery (up to about 8 hours).
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be star ted using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump leadcables.
Starting using another
batter
y
) Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.) Connect one end of the green or blackcable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B
(or ear th point on the other
vehicle).) Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the ear th point Con the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting). ) Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes.


First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery. Do not try to star t the engine byconnecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking brake, put the gearbox in neutral, then switch off the ignition.Check that all electrical equipment isswitched off.
