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.

when the ignition is switched off.
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, stop the function; reducing
the consumption of electrical current
reduces fuel consumption. Prolonged use is not recommended for
persons with sensitive skin.
There is a
risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.

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

Important!
Never leave the engine running in
a closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death! In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for
4
minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Never park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable sur face
(dr y grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very
hot, even several minutes after the engine
stops. Risk of fire!
Never leave a
vehicle unattended with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox). Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised
.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive on a
flooded road:
F
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
F
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h),
F
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000
metres of altitude; the
decreased air density at altitude reduces
engine performance.
New vehicle: do not pull a
trailer
before having driven at least 620
miles
(1,000
kilometres). If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
F
D
istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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 signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your
vehicle.
If a
genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the
t emperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F
R
educe speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the
wind that the vehicle will have.
