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
monitoring ".
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument
pan
el.
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
when
towing with a towbar approved by
CIT
ROËN.

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
t
ouch screen tablet.
F
I
n the Driving
menu, select the " Driving
assistance " tab, then "Parking sensors ".
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the
system, when reverse gear is
e
ngaged, this warning lamp flashes
f
or a few moments then stays on
continuously.
This indicator comes on in the
instrument pan el.
A
new selection reactivates the function.

When washing your vehicle, do not
d
irect the lance within 30 cm of the
sen
sors.

Fuel
Capacity of the tank: approximately 57 litres (petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this
warning lamp comes on in the
in
strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
warning and a message and
t
he last bar of the fuel gauge comes
o
n in orange.
F
T
ake care to select the pump that delivers
t
he correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F
I
ntroduce the nozzle so as to push in the
metal non-return flap A .
F
M

f
ar as possible before starting to refuel
(risk
of blowback).
F
M

r
efuelling
ope
ration.
F
P
ush the fuel flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do
not persist after the 3rd cut- off; this could
cause malfunctions.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending
on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be
registered by the fuel gauge.
When it first comes on, about 6 litres of fuel
remain
in
the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning
lamp appears every time the ignition
i
s switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning
and a message. This audible warning
a
nd
message are repeated with increasing
f
requency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel
as
soon as possible to avoid running out.Opening
the filler flap may result in an inrush of
a
ir. This is entirely normal and results from the
s
ealing of the fuel system.
F
W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
e
dge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is a
p
art of it).
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system
in STOP mode; you must switch
