For more information on the Remote control
or on the Keyless Entr y and Star ting , refer to
the corresponding section.
If there is a
fault or if it is difficult to move
the tailgate when opening or closing
it, have it checked as soon as possible
by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to prevent the problem
becoming worse, and potentially causing
the tailgate to drop and thereby inflicting
serious injuries.
The tailgate is not designed to support
a
bicycle carrier.
Closing
F Lower the tailgate using the interior grab handle.
If the tailgate is not fully closed:
-

w
ith the engine running or the vehicle
moving (speed below 6
mph (10 km/h)), a
message appears in the screen.
-

w
ith the vehicle moving (speed above
6
mph (10 km/h)), a message appears in
the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal.

Hands-free tailgate
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary. Check that there is enough space to
allow for the movement of the motorised
tailgate.
Never introduce a
finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate – risk of
a

serious injury!
Safety anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a
few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1


cm from completely closed).

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
recommended by CITROËN, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.
Motorised operation
Activation/deactivation of the
motorised operation of the tailgate is

of the controls A
, B or E enables you to
unlock the vehicle or the tailgate alone
beforehand, if selective unlocking of the
boot is activated.
Closing the tailgate with the "hands-free"
access function enables you to lock the
vehicle.
This function is deactivated by default. A.

Alarm
System which protects and provides a deterrent
a gainst theft and break-ins. It provides the
following types of monitoring:
-

E
xterior perimeter :
The system checks whether the vehicle is
opened. The alarm is triggered if anyone
tries to open a
door, the boot or the bonnet.
-

I
nterior volumetric :
The system checks for any variation of the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a


window, enters the passenger
compartment or moves inside the vehicle.
-

A
nti-tilt :
The system checks for any change in
the attitude of the vehicle. The alarm is
triggered if the vehicle is lifted, moved or
knocked.
Self-protection function : the system
checks for the disabling of its own
components. The alarm is triggered
if the battery, button or siren wiring is
disconnected or damaged.
For all work on the alarm system,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.Locking the vehicle with full
alarm system
Activation
F Switch off the engine and exit the vehicle.
F L ock or deadlock the vehicle using the
remote control or the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" system.
When the monitoring system is active, the
indicator lamp in the button flashes once per
second and the direction indicators come on for
about 2


seconds.
The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated
after 5
seconds and the interior volumetric and
anti-tilt monitoring after 45
seconds.
If an opening (door, boot, bonnet, etc.)
is incorrectly closed, the vehicle is
not locked, but the exterior perimeter
monitoring will be activated after
45
seconds, at the same time as the
interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring.
Deactivation
F Unlock the vehicle using the remote control or the "Keyless Entry and Starting" system.
With the remote control:

Access

50
The monitoring system is deactivated: the
indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
direction indicators flash for about 2 seconds.
If the vehicle automatically locks itself
again (as happens if a
door or the boot
is not opened within 30
seconds of
unlocking), the monitoring system is
automatically reactivated.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and
flashing of the direction indicators for thirty
seconds.
The volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring functions
remain active until the tenth successive time
the alarm is triggered.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the "Keyless Entry and Starting"
system, rapid flashing of the indicator lamp
in the button informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the
ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.

Panoramic opening
sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
g lass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
F

T
o operate the panoramic opening sunroof
or the blind, use the buttons in the roof
console. A.
Sunroof blind control
B. Sunroof control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP
mode of Stop & Start, and up to 45 seconds
after turning off the ignition or after locking the
vehicle.
Before operating the sunroof or blind
control buttons, ensure that no object or
person might prevent the movement.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the sunroof or blind.
If the sunroof or blind meets an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind. To do
this, press the switch concerned.
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the sunroof and blind correctly.
Anti-pinch system
If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle
when closing, the movement is automatically
reversed.
The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be
effective at speeds of up to 75
mph (120 km/h).
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through
the open sunroof when driving – risk of
serious injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars do not inter fere
with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a
shower
or washing the vehicle, wait until it is
completely dry before opening.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered
by snow or ice – risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow
or ice from the sunroof.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this,
press the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the passengers'
electric window switches, it is important
to ensure that nothing can prevent the
window from closing properly.
It is important to ensure that the
passengers use the electric windows
c o r r e c t l y.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other
persons present when closing the
windows using the electronic key or the
"Keyless Entry and Starting" system.

charge indicator lamp comes on in green. It
stays lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged. Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in
the charging area while a
device is
being charged – risk of overheating or
interrupting the charging process!Checking operation
The status of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

sur face.
Do not pour AdBlue
® if the temperature of the
vehicle is less than -11°C. Park your vehicle in
a

warmer area for a

few hours to allow the top-
up to be carried out.
In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5

litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there
are any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a

damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a

sponge and hot water.
