At any point, it is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate:Repeated opening and closing of the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating
of its electric motor, after which opening
and closing will not be possible.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten
minutes before operating the tailgate
again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
If an obstacle (person or object) is
encountered, the anti-pinch system stops the
closing movement and raises the tailgate by
a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle.
Memorising an opening
position
To cancel the memorised position:
- s top the tailgate in an intermediate position,
-

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
Motorised closing
There are two options:
F
P ress and release the exterior control B .
or
The motorised tailgate has a safety anti-
p inch feature which interrupts the closing
movement if there is something in the way.
F Press button C and release it.
-
b
y pressing one of these
two buttons,
or
-

b
y pressing the exterior
control B .
After a
movement is interrupted, pressing
one of the controls again restarts the
movement, unless you press the remote
control button, which only controls
opening. Where height is restricted (garage with a
low
ceiling, etc.) it is possible to limit the opening
angle of the motorised tailgate.
This memorisation is done as follows:
-

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
of the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal. The motorised tailgate can be opened and
closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual operation must be done
with the tailgate first stopped.
During manual operations to open or close
the motorised tailgate, you will no longer be
assisted by the struts. Resistance to opening
and closing is therefore entirely normal.
Reinitialising the motorised
tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
reconnecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F

O
pen the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F

F
ully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or qualified workshop.

Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a

motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, lock your vehicle to avoid the
risk of unexpected opening.
Back-up control
To manually unlock the boot in the event of
a battery or central locking failure.
Unlocking
Locking after closing
If the fault persists after closing again, the boot
will remain locked. F
F
old the rear seats to gain access to the
lock from inside the boot.
F
I
nsert a small screwdriver into hole A of the
lock to unlock the boot.
F
M
ove the latch to the left.
Hands-free tailgate
To enable you to open or close the tailgate
while your hands are full, the motorised tailgate
may be fitted with the hands-free function.
For more information on the Motorised
tailgate
, refer to the corresponding section.
"Hands-free " opening
Making another kicking movement with your
foot below the bumper while the tailgate is
opening interrupts the movement. A third kicking
movement reverses the direction of movement.
If the vehicle is locked, it unlocks before
the tailgate opens.
F

I

f 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.
The tailgate opens to the stored position.

Heated seats
F Use the adjustment wheel to switch on and select the level of heating required:
0: Of f.
1: Low.
2: Medium.
3: High.
With the engine running, the front seats can be
heated separately. Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an
adequate temperature, you can stop
the function; reducing the consumption
of electrical current reduces fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, for example).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the function:
-
i
f wearing damp clothing,
-
i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-
d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-
d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-
d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-
d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-
d
o not use liquid products for cleaning
the seat,
-
n
ever use the heating function when
the seat is damp.

A child sur veillance mirror is installed above the
interior mirror. This allows you to keep watch
over the passengers in the back of the vehicle
and facilitates discussion between passengers
in the front and the back without needing to
adjust the mirror and without turning around. It
can be easily folded to avoid dazzle.
Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen, or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger compartment
(air intake),
-
p

assage through a

heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are accessible in the
Air conditioning menu of the touch screen A .
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and rear screen are located to the
left of the touch screen.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents. 2.
Front quarter window demisting/defrosting
vents.
3. Front side window demisting/defrosting
vents.
Adjustable and closable side air vents.
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice
a
month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of
the passenger compartment (reduction
of allergic symptoms, bad odours and
greasy deposits). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high,
first air the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
F

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a

CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a

steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d

o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d

o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
