pressing one of these controls again
reverses the movement.
" Hands-Free Tailgate Access "
The "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function is activated/deactivated in
the Driving/Vehicle menu of the
touch screen.

Automatic locking using the " Hands-
Free Tailgate Access " function
Memorising an opening
position
To memorise a position, in order to limit the
motorised tailgate opening angle:
F

m
ove the tailgate to the desired position
manually or by pressing the button,
F

p
ress button C or the exterior control B
for more than 3


seconds (memorisation is
confirmed by a
brief audible signal).
Saving is not available until the height of
opening is more than or equal to 1
metre
between the low position and the high
position of the tailgate. To delete
the memorised position:
F
o
pen the tailgate to any position,
F
p
ress button C or the exterior control B
for more than 3 seconds (the deletion is
confirmed by a long audible signal).
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing a


motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.
This function is deactivated by default. Press this button to activate/deactivate
automatic locking of the vehicle when closing
the tailgate using the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function (confirmed by lighting/
extinction of the green indicator lamp).
Repeatedly opening and closing the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating
of its electric motor, after which opening
and closing will not be possible.
Allow at least 10
minutes for the electric
motor to cool down before operating the
tailgate again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp
c omes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a
message and an
audible signal.
Do not touch the "Full LED" technology
headlamps – risk of electrocution!
This system automatically adjusts the height
of the beams from this type of headlamp,
according to the load in the vehicle, to avoid
causing a
nuisance to other road users.
The system then places the headlamp beams
in the lowest position.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
-

i

f the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps are on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
To reactivate the function, flash the headlamps
again.

This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening
F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
F

C

correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Height adjustment
F To adjust the height of the anchorage point, squeeze control A and slide it to the notch
desired.
Rear seat belts
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat
b elt with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted with a
pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system. Before per forming any operations on the
rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat
belts, check that:
-

t
he outer seat belts are correctly in the
storage position, lying vertically along
the pillar,
-
t
he central seat belt is stowed.

Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety
of the occupants sitting in the front seats and
the rear outer seats in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters at the
front seats and at the rear outer seats.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

I
n the event of violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect
the occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
in order not to hinder the visibility or the
possible exit of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations. The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If
a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a
noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
These front airbags are adaptive. In
particular, their hardness will decrease in
the presence of an occupant of shorter
height, with the seat adjusted to a
for ward
longitudinal position.
