Motorised tailgate
General points
Never place a finger in the locking mechanism   of   the   motorised   tailgate   -  
R

isk   of   serious   injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate includes a system for   detecting   obstacles,   which   automatically  
i

nterrupts   and   reverses   the   movement   by   a   few  
d

egrees,   to   allow   the   obstacle   to   be   cleared.
Note
  that   this   anti-pinch   system   does   not  
o

perate   at   the   end   of   the   closing   movement  
(

around   1   cm   before   complete   closure).
The
 
motorised
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
tailgate
 
can
 b
e
 
activated
 
or
 
deactivated
 
by
 
selecting
 "
M
otorised tailgate " in the Driving 
menu
 
of
 
t

he
 
touch
 
screen
 
tablet.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The tailgate is not designed to be fitted with a b icycle   carrier.
If
  a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   to   a   towbar   with   a  
w

iring   harness   connected   to   a   towbar   socket,  
t

he   motorised   operation   of   the   tailgate   is  
a

utomatically
 d
eactivated.
If
  using   a   towbar   or   bicycle   carrier   not   approved  
b

y   CITROËN,   it   is   essential   to   deactivate   the  
m

otorised   operation   of   the   tailgate.
Tailgate
 
operation
 
commands
 
must
 
be
 
made
 
w

ith
 
the
 
vehicle
 
stationary.
Ensure
 
that
 
there
 
is
 
enough
 
free
 
space
 
to
 
allow
 
t

he
 
motorised
 
tailgate
 
to
 
open. To
 
avoid
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
injury
 
through
 
p

inching
 
or
 
trapping,
 
before
 
and
 
during
 
o

peration
 
of
 
the
 
tailgate:
-
 
e

nsure
 
that
 
there
 
is
 
no

Operating faults
If several foot movements below the rear bumper   fail   to   open   the   tailgate,   wait   a  
f

ew seconds   before   starting   again.
The
  function   is   automatically   deactivated   in   the  
e

vent   of   heavy   rain   or   accumulation   of   snow.
If
  the   function   fails   to   operate,   check  
t

hat   the   electronic   key   is   not   exposed   to  
s

trong   electromagnetic   inter ference   (a  
s

mar tphone, ...).
The
  function   may   not   work   correctly   with   a  
pro

sthetic
 le
g.
The
  function   may   not   work   correctly   if   your  
v

ehicle   is   fitted   with   a   towbar. In
  some   circumstances,   the   tailgate   may   only  o
pen   or   close,   particularly   if:
-
 
y
our   vehicle   is   fitted   with   a   towbar,
-
 
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  
v

ehicle,
-
 
a
n   animal   approaches   the   bumper,
-
 
y
ou   are   washing   your   vehicle,
-
 
a
  service   is   being   carried   out   on   your  
v

ehicle,
-
 
y
ou   are   accessing   the   spare   wheel  
(

depending
 o
n
 v
ersion).
To
  avoid   such   operating   problems,   keep   the  
e

lectronic   key   away   from   the   recognition   zone  
o

r   deactivate   "Hands-Free   Tailgate   Access".
Ensure
  that   no   object   or   person   might   prevent  
t

he   correct   opening   or   closing   of   the   tailgate.
Be
  particularly   aware   of   children   when  
o

perating   the   tailgate.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For
  more   information   on   Weights
, refer
to   the   corresponding   section.
The   rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   to   avoid   the  
a

udible   signal   if   a   genuine   CITROËN  
t

owbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes,   the   use   of  
e

ngine   braking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer   and   the   headlamp   beam  
h

eight   of   your   vehicle.
For
  more   information   on   Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or   rear)   indicates   whether   the   obstacle  
i

s   in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

a

  towbar   (vehicle   fitted   with   a   towbar  
i

nstalled   in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In
  bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  t
hat   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  
m

ud,   ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,   pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger
