2002 Citroen C5 tail gate

This was from a review from ( I think ) Autocar on this problem , might help .


" What seemed set to spoil things, though, was the ‘will-it/won't-it-work' operation of the automatic tailgate. It should have opened when I pressed a button on the key fob, and closed when I touched the red button in its lip, but it didn't always work. The problem seemed connected to a lack of reserve electrical power.

Just running the radio for five minutes with the engine off caused the whole system to shut down and the sign ‘Entering economy mode' to appear on the instrument display. Owners of C5 Tourers e-mailed to say how annoyed they were by it, too.

In the end, the cure was simple: a Citroen engineer plugged in his laptop, upgraded the car's software and – voila! – all was fixed. What a relief. "

Just found the road test / review and it was What Car ?
