Lost electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration certificate, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
T he  CITROËN  dealer  will  be  able  to  retrieve  the  key  code  and  the  transponder  code  required  to  order  a  new  key.
Electronic key
The electronic key is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you  being  aware  of  it.
Do
 not  repeatedly  press  the  buttons  of  your  electronic  key  out  of  range  and  out  of  sight  of  your  vehicle.  You  run  the  risk  of  stopping  it  from Â
w
orking  and  the  remote  control  would  have  to  be  reinitialised.
The
 electronic  key  cannot  operate  as  a  remote  control  when  it  is  in  the  reader  or  even  when  the  ignition  is  switched  on.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
A s  a  safety  precaution  (with  children  on  board),  take  the  electronic  key  with  you  when  you  leave  the  vehicle,  even  for  a  short  time.
Electrical interference
The electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
D on't  forget  to  turn  the  wheel  to  lock  the  steering  column.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have all of the keys in your possession paired by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys allow your vehicle to be unlocked and started.

Motorised tailgate
General points
Never place a finger in the locking mechanism  of  the  motorised  tailgate  - Â
R
isk  of  serious  injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate includes a system for  detecting  obstacles,  which  automatically Â
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 Â
(
around  1  cm  before  complete  closure).
The
Â
motorised
Â
operation
Â
of
Â
the
Â
tailgate
Â
can
 b
e
Â
activated
Â
or
Â
deactivated
Â
by
Â
selecting
 "

the
Â
touch
Â
screen
Â
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, Â
t
he  motorised  operation  of  the  tailgate  is Â
a
utomatically
 d
eactivated.
If
 using  a  towbar  or  bicycle  carrier  not  approved Â
b
y CITROËN, it is essential to deactivate the
motorised
 operation  of  the  tailgate.

Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low c
eiling,  ...)  it  is  possible  to  limit  and  memorise Â
t
he  opening  angle  of  the  motorised  tailgate.
This
 memorisation  is  done  as  follows:
-
Â
o
pen  the  tailgate  to  the  desired  position,
-
p
ress button C  or  the  exterior  control  B for
more
 than  3  seconds.
Memorisation
 of  the  maximum  opening  position Â
o
f  the  tailgate  is  confirmed  by  an  audible  signal.
To
 cancel  the  memorised  position:
-
Â
s
top  the  tailgate  in  an  intermediate Â
p
osition,
-
p
ress button C  or  the  exterior  control  B for
more
 than  3  seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed
 by  an  audible  signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual intervention must be
done
 with  the  tailgate  stopped.
Repeated
Â
opening
Â
and
Â
closing
Â
of
Â
the
 t
ailgate
Â
can
Â
cause
Â
overheating
Â
of
Â
its
 e
lectric
Â
motor,
Â
after
Â
which
Â
opening
Â
and
Â
c
losing
Â
will
Â
not
Â
be
Â
possible.
Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool
down
Â
before
Â
operating
Â
the
Â
tailgate
Â
ag
ain.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be en countered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
the
 closing  movement  and  raises  the  tailgate  a Â
f
ew  centimetres  to  clear  the  obstacle. When
 opening  and  closing  a  motorised  tailgate Â
m
anually,  there  is  no  assistance  from  gas-filled Â
s
truts.  Resistance  to  opening  and  closing  is Â
t
herefore  entirely  normal.

In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the  tailgate,  clear  the  snow  before Â
c
ommanding  a  motorised  opening  of Â
t
he  tailgate.
The
 formation  of  ice  can  block  the Â
t
ailgate  and  prevent  its  opening:  wait Â
u
ntil  the  ice  melts  with  the  heating  of Â
t
he
 p
assenger
 c
ompartment.
When washing the vehicle
When washing the vehicle in an automatic  car  wash,  don't  forget  to Â
