active at the end of the closing travel (around 

1 cm from completely closed).

To avoid the risk of injury through 

pinching or trapping, before and during 

operation of the motorised tailgate:

–  ensure that there is no-one close to the 

rear of the vehicle.

–  monitor the activity of the rear passengers, 

particularly any children.

36

Access

Bicycle carrier/Towing device

The motorised tailgate is not designed to support 

a bicycle carrier.

When installing a bicycle carrier on the towing 

device with connection of the cable to the trailer 

socket, the motorised operation of the tailgate 

will be automatically deactivated.

If using a towing device or bicycle carrier 

not recommended by CITROËN, it is 

essential to deactivate the motorised 

operation of the tailgate.

Motorised operation

Motorised operation of the tailgate is set 

via the 

Driving/Vehicle

 touch screen 

menu.

 

 

There are several ways of operating the tailgate:

A.

Using the Keyless Entry and Start system’s 

electronic key

B.

Using the exterior tailgate control

C.

Using the interior tailgate control

Opening

►  A long press on the central button 

A

 of the 

electronic key.

or

►  A short press on the exterior tailgate control 

B

, with the electronic key on your person.

The tailgate opens, either completely by 

default, or to the position memorised 

beforehand.

If motorised operation is not activated, these 

actions release the tailgate (partially-open 

position).

When the vehicle is locked, the request to 

open the boot with one of the controls 

A

 

or 

B

 unlocks the vehicle, or only the boot if 

selective unlocking is activated, prior to the 

opening of the boot.

Closing

►  A short press on the interior tailgate control 

C

.

It is possible to interrupt the operation of 

the tailgate at any point.

Pressing one of these controls again 

interrupts the movement that is underway.

Hands-free function (Hands-Free 

Tailgate Access)

With the electronic key on your person, this 

function allows the motorised tailgate to be 

opened, closed or stopped via a "kicking" 

movement under the rear bumper.

The "Hands-Free Tailgate/Access" 

function is set via the 

Driving/Vehicle

 

touch screen menu.

Ensure that you are steady on your feet 

before performing the "kicking" 

movement.

Take care not to touch the exhaust system 

which may be hot - risk of burns!

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

The function is not available when the 

vehicle is connected.

 

37

Access

2

 

►  Position yourself behind the vehicle by the 

number plate and perform a "kicking" movement 

in the "

OK

" detection zone.

The "kicking" movement must be given forwards, 

smoothly, not too fast and with a vertical 

movement from low to high. Raise the foot 

sufficiently and remove it immediately.

Recognition of the "kicking" movement is 

confirmed by the lighting of the direction 

indicators followed by an audible signal.

"Sideward kicking" movements do not 

work. If the "kicking" movement has not 

been detected, wait at least 2 seconds before 

repeating the movement.

Do not perform repetitive "kicking" 

movements.

If the motorised tailgate has not started to open, 

check that:

–  the function is activated.

–  the electronic key is on your person, outside 

the vehicle in the rear recognition area.

–  the "kicking" movement was performed in the 

detection zone, close enough to the bumper.

–  the foot was removed from the bumper quickly 

enough.

Automatic locking with the hands-free 

function

The automatic locking of the vehicle with 

the hands-free function can be activated/

deactivated via the 

Driving/Vehicle

 touch 

screen menu.

When the vehicle is locked, the request 

to open the tailgate with this function 

unlocks the vehicle, or only the tailgate if 

selective unlocking is activated, prior to the 

opening of the tailgate.

Closing the tailgate with the "Hands-Free 

Tailgate Access" function enables you to lock 

the vehicle.

Recommendations on the hands-free 

function (Hands-Free Tailgate Access)

If it does not work, check that the electronic key 

is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic 

interference (e.g. smartphone).

The function may be deactivated or affected if 

there is rain or snow.

The function may not work correctly with a 

prosthetic leg.

In some circumstances, the tailgate may open or 

close by itself, particularly when:

–  hitching up or removing a trailer;

–  operating a towing device;

–  fitting or removing a bicycle carrier;

–  loading or unloading bicycles on/from a bicycle 

carrier;

–  depositing or lifting something behind the 

vehicle;

–  an animal approaches the rear bumper;

–  washing the vehicle;

–  maintenance is performed on the vehicle;

–  accessing the spare wheel.

To avoid such operating problems, keep the 

electronic key away from the recognition zone or 

deactivate the hands-free function.

Towing device

The installation of a towing device may 

disturb the detection system.

►  Perform the "kicking" movement on the 

right side of the towing device.

38

Access

Memorising an opening 

position

To 

memorise

 a position, in order to limit the 

motorised tailgate opening angle:

►  move the tailgate to the desired position 

manually or by pressing the button.

►  press button 

C

 or the exterior control 

B

 for 

more than 3 seconds (memorisation is confirmed 

by a brief audible signal).

Memorising 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:

►  open the tailgate to any position.

►  press button 

C

 or the exterior control 

B

 for 

more than 3 seconds (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.

With resumption of the motorised function

The motorised tailgate function can be activated 

manually.

►  With the boot open: vigorously move the 

tailgate a little in the closing direction to activate 

motorised closing.

►  With the boot partly open: vigorously move 

the tailgate a little in the opening direction to 

activate motorised opening.

Without resumption of the motorised 

function

►  Move the tailgate as slowly and smoothly as 

possible. 

Assistance from the gas struts is no longer 

available when opening and closing the 

motorised tailgate manually. Resistance to 

opening and closing is therefore quite normal.

In case of the motor overheating

Repeatedly opening and closing the 

tailgate can cause overheating of its electric 

motor, after which opening and closing will not 

be possible.

Allow the electric motor to cool down for at 

least 10 minutes before carrying out any 

manoeuvre.

If you are unable to wait, operate it manually.

Manual closing of the 

motorised tailgate in case of 

failure

This operation is 

only necessary 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.

►  Close 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

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 and 

move away from the vehicle to prevent any 

risk of unwanted opening.

Sunroof control

The sunroof or blind can be operated when the 

ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged 

enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode 

of Stop & Start, and up to 45 seconds after 

turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.

Precautions

Do not put your head or arms through the 

sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk 

of serious injury!

Ensure that any luggage or accessories 

carried on the roof bars do not interfere 

with the movement of the sunroof.

Do not place heavy loads on the movable 

glass panel of the sunroof.

If the sunroof is wet, following a rain 

shower or washing the vehicle, wait until 

it is completely dry before operating it.

Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by 

snow or ice - risk of damage!

Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or 

ice from the sunroof.

Regularly check the condition of the 

sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust, 

dead leaves).

If using a car wash, check first that the roof is 

correctly closed and keep the high-pressure 

jet at least 30 centimetres from the seals.

Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof 

open.

Operation

When opening the sunroof fully, the movable 

glass moves to a partially open position, then 

slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is 

possible.

Depending on the speed of the vehicle, 

the partially open position may vary to 

improve the acoustics.

Before operating the sunroof or blind 

control buttons, ensure that no object or

When the seat and passenger compartment 

have reached a satisfactory temperature, 

switch the function off; reducing electrical 

consumption in turn decreases energy 

consumption.

Prolonged use of heated seats is not 

recommended for people with sensitive 

skin.

There is a risk of burns for people whose 

perception of heat is impaired (e.g. illness, 

taking medication).

To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent 

a short circuit:

–  Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the 

seat.

–  Do not kneel or stand on the seat.

–  Do not spill liquids onto the seat.

–  Never use the heating function if the seat 

is damp.

detect the level of exterior brightness, as well as 

that coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order 

to automatically and gradually switch between 

day and night usage.

To ensure optimum visibility while 

manoeuvring, the mirror automatically 

brightens when reverse gear is engaged.

The system is deactivated if the load in the 

boot exceeds the height of the load space 

cover or if the load space cover has items 

placed on it.
