To avoid the risk of injury through pinching
or trapping, before and during operation of
the motorised tailgate:
-
e
nsure that there is no person close to
the rear of the vehicle,
-

m
onitor the activity of your rear
passengers, particularly any children.
Bicycle carrier/Towing device
The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a
bicycle carrier on a towing
device with connection of a
cable to the towing
socket, the motorised operation of the tailgate
will be automatically deactivated.
If using a
towing device or bicycle carrier
not approved by CITROËN, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.

52
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. -

y
ou are washing your vehicle,
-

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.

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.

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a
few moments
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a
malfunction, you are informed
by a
message in the instrument panel screen.
If this happens, your vehicle will not start;
contact a
CITROËN dealer if required.
