Motorised closing

There are two options:
F Press and release the exterior control B.
or
F Press button C and release it.
The motorised tailgate has a safety anti-
pinch feature which interrupts the closing
movement if there is something in the way.
At any point, it is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate:
- by pressing one of these
two buttons,
or
- by pressing the exterior
control B.
After a movement is interrupted, pressing
one of the controls again restarts the
movement, unless you press the remote
control button, which only controls
opening.

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

Detection of obstacles

If an obstacle (person or object) is
encountered, the anti-pinch system stops the
closing movement and raises the tailgate by
a few centimetres to clear the obstacle.
Memorising an opening
position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low
ceiling, etc.) it is possible to limit 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 operation must be done
with the tailgate first stopped.
During manual operations to open or close
the motorised tailgate, you will no longer be
assisted by the 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,
reconnecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F Open the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F Fully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or qualified workshop.
