Motorised tailgate

General points

Never place a finger in the locking
mechanism of the motorised tailgate -
Risk of serious injury!

Anti-pinch

The motorised tailgate includes a system
for detecting obstacles, which automatically
interrupts and reverses the movement by a few
degrees, to allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Note that this anti-pinch system does not
operate at the end of the closing movement
(around 1 cm before complete closure).

The motorised operation of the tailgate can
be activated or deactivated by selecting
"Motorised tailgate" in the Driving

menu of

the touch screen.

Bicycle carrier / Towbar

The tailgate is not designed to be fitted with a
bicycle carrier.
If a bicycle carrier is fitted to a towbar with a
wiring harness connected to a towbar socket,
the motorised operation of the tailgate is
automatically deactivated.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not approved
by CITROËN, it is essential to deactivate the
motorised operation of the tailgate.

Tailgate operation commands must be made
with the vehicle stationary.
Ensure that there is enough free space to allow
the motorised tailgate to open.

To avoid the risk of injury through
pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the tailgate:
-

ensure that there is no person close
to the rear of the vehicle,

watch the behaviour of rear
passengers, particularly children.

Opening the tailgate with the
electronic key / remote control (A)

Opening the tailgate with the
"Keyless Entry and Starting"
system "B"

Opening the tailgate

Make a long press on the remote

control button.

F Press button B

on the tailgate, with the

electronic key in the zone covered.

When selective locking is activated, the
electronic key must be near the rear of
the vehicle.

By default, the tailgate opens
completely or alternatively to the
memorised position.

After complete unlocking of the vehicle,

press control B

on the tailgate.

The instruction is confirmed by an audible
signal.

Motorised closing

There are two possibilities:
F

Press and release the exterior control B.

The motorised tailgate has an anti-
pinch system that interrupts closing if it
encounters an obstacle.

Press and then release button C.

There are several ways of operating the
motorised tailgate:
- using the Keyless Entry and Starting

electronic key (A),

- using the exterior control on the

tailgate (B),

- using the interior control on the tailgate (C),
- by a movement of your foot, if your vehicle

has the hands-free tailgate access
function.

Motorised opening

For more information on Hands-free tailgate
access

, refer to the corresponding section.

Operation

Operation of the tailgate can be
interrupted at any time:

- by pressing

one of these
two buttons,

or
- by pressing the exterior control B.
After interruption of an operation,
another press on one of the controls
resumes the movement, with the
exception of a press on the remote
control button, which only allows
opening.

Access

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap02_ouvertures_ed02-2016

Memorising an
opening position

Where height is restricted (garage with a low
ceiling, ...) it is possible to limit and memorise
the opening angle of the motorised tailgate.
This memorisation is done as follows:
- open the tailgate to the desired position,
-

press button C

or the exterior control B for

more than 3 seconds.

Memorisation of the maximum opening position
of the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal.
To cancel the memorised position:
- stop the tailgate in an intermediate

position,

press button C

or the exterior control B for

more than 3 seconds.

Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed by an audible signal.

Manual operation

The motorised tailgate can be opened and
closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual intervention must be
done with the tailgate stopped.

Repeated opening and closing of the
tailgate can cause overheating of its
electric motor, after which opening and
closing will not be possible.
Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool
down before operating the tailgate
again.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.

Detection of obstacles

Should an obstacle (person or object) be
encountered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
the closing movement and raises the tailgate a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle.

When opening and closing a motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas-filled
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.

Reinitialising the motorised
tailgate

This operation is necessary where there is
no movement - after detection of an obstacle,
connecting or recharging the battery, ...

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Precautions in use

In wintry conditions

In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before

tailgate and prevent its opening: wait
until the ice melts with the heating of
the passenger compartment.

When washing the vehicle

When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, don't forget to
lock your vehicle to avoid the risk of
unexpected opening.

Back-up release

Fold back the rear seats to gain access to

the lock from inside the boot.

Insert a small screwdriver into hole A of the

lock to unlock the tailgate.

Move the latch to the left.

Locking after closing
