Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, 
referring to the label in the door aperture, 
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
b
 efore a   long journey,
-
 
a
 t each change of season,
-
 
a
 fter a   long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on 
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine 
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and 
obser ve the schedule of operations in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
  BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR 
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes 
polluting. Visit a   CITROËN dealer or 
a   qualified workshop as soon as possible to 
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions 
back in line with the regulations.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the 
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only 
after the first 1,900
  miles (3,000   kilometres) 
that you will see the fuel consumption settle 
down to a
  consistent average.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and 
refit your summer tyres. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, 
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a 
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

Ensure that you are steady on your feet 
before making the kicking movement 
below the rear bumper.
Take care not to touch the exhaust 
system, which may be hot – Risk of burns!
"Hands-free " closing
F If your hands are full, with the remote 
control on you in the recognition zone A , 
make a
  kicking movement with your foot 
below the rear bumper.
Flashing of the direction indicator lamps and 
a
 
beeping sound confirm the request.
Making another kicking movement with your 
foot below the bumper while the tailgate is 
closing interrupts the movement. A third kicking 
movement reverses the direction of movement.
Deactivation
By default, hands-free access is activated.
This function can be activated or deactivated 
by selecting " Hands-Free Tailgate Access " in 
the Driving  menu of the touch screen.
Automatic locking
To lock the vehicle when the tailgate closes 
using a kicking movement, activate " Hands-
free tailgate access self-locking " in the 
Driving  menu of the touch screen.
Recommendations related 
to the Hands-Free Tailgate 
Access function
If several kicking movements to operate the 
tailgate have no effect, wait a
  few seconds 
before trying again.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key 
is not exposed to a
  source of electromagnetic 
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if 
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with 
a
 
prosthetic leg. -

(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the 
electronic key away from the recognition zone 
or deactivate the Hands-Free Tailgate Access 
function.
After installing a   towing device, it is 
essential to contact a   CITROËN dealer 
or a   qualified workshop so that it is taken 
into account by the detection system. 
Other wise, there is a
  risk of malfunction of 
the Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.
Ensure that no object or person might 
prevent the correct opening or closing of 
the tailgate.
Be particularly aware of children when 
operating the tailgate.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open 
or close by itself, particularly if:

The airbags may no longer be deployed in the 
event of a  serious impact.
In the event of a
  minor impact or bump on 
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls 
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
  rear or front collision, 
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, 
observe the safety recommendations 
below.
Adopt a
  normal and upright sitting 
position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is 
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, 
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything 
close to or in the way of the airbag release 
trajectory; this could cause injuries during 
their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your 
vehicle, particularly in the area directly 
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has 
been stolen or broken into, have the 
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must 
be carried out by a
  CITROËN dealer or 
a
 
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned 
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor 
burns to the head, chest or arms when an 
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. 
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within 
a
  few milliseconds) then deflates within 
the same time discharging the hot gas via 
openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel 
by its spokes or resting your hands on the 
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on 
the dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the 
airbags can cause burns or the risk of 
injury from a
  cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering 
wheel or hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the 
steering wheel or dashboard, this could 
cause injuries with deployment of the 
airbags.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof, 
as this could cause head injuries when 
the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the 
grab handles installed on the roof, they 
play a
 
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Towing device
Load distribution
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 
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus 
reducing engine performance. The maximum 
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every 
1,000
  metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine 
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It 
is recommended that the installation 
be per formed by a
  CITROËN dealer or 
a
 
 qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by 
a   CITROËN dealer, it must still be 
fitted in accordance with the vehicle 
manufacturer's instructions.
Important : for versions equipped with 
the motorised tailgate with "Hands-Free 
Tailgate Access" function, if a   towing 
device other than a   genuine CITROËN 
one is installed, it is imperative to 
visit a   CITROËN dealer or a   qualified 
workshop to recalibrate the detection 
system: risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate 
Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid 
functions are automatically disabled if an 
approved towing system is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable 
weight, indicated on your vehicle's 
registration certificate, the manufacturer's 
label as well as in the Technical data
 
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum 
authorised nose weight (towball) 
also includes the use of accessories 
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the 
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised tailgate 
with " Hands-Free Tailgate Access " 
function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate 
when using the towing device:
-
 
p
 lease deactivate this function in advance 
in your vehicle's configuration menu,
-
 
o
 r remove the electronic key from the 
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
