Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking deactivates the exterior
and interior door controls, as well as the
central locking button on the dashboard.
The horn remains operational.
You must therefore never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is deadlocked. F

W
ith the electronic key in recognition
zone A , press once with your finger or
thumb on the door handle of one of the front
doors (at the markings) or on the locking
control located on the tailgate (at the right of
the control) to lock the vehicle.
F
W
ithin 5 seconds, press the door handle
again to deadlock the vehicle.
Advice
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range of your vehicle.
It might stop working. It will then be
necessary to reinitialise it again.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc. Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering
lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency ser vices
to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a
safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when leaving the
vehicle, even for a
short time.
Purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.

Manual closing of the
motorised tailgate in case
of failure
This operation is only necessar y in the case
of failure of the tailgate motor.
If the failure originates from the battery, it is
recommended to recharge it or change it with
the tailgate closed .
In this situation, a significant force may be
needed to close the tailgate.
F

C
lose it gently without slamming, as slowly
as possible, by pushing at the centre of the
tailgate.
Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at one
of its sides – risk of damage!
Precautions in use
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-

d
eactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate
closed. In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove
the snow or wait until the ice melts before
requesting motorised opening of the
tailgate.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
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.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a
build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone, etc.).
The function may not work correctly with
a


prosthetic leg. The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a
towing device.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:
-
y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-
y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-
y
ou load or unload bicycles from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
-
y
ou place or lift something behind the
vehicle,
-
an
animal approaches the rear bumper,
-
y
ou are washing your vehicle,
-
y
our vehicle is being serviced,
-
y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate "Hands-Free Tailgate Access".
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, risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function failure.

TM, Android
Auto® or CarPlay®, so that certain
smartphone applications can be used
on the touch screen. When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.

standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by
design or by using a
compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi
symbol.
They allow the connection of a

portable device,
such as an iPod
®-type digital audio player, to
charge the device.
To achieve the best results, it is necessary to
use a

cable made or approved by the device
manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering mounted controls or those of the audio
system.
