Hands-free tailgate
General points
Activation and deactivation of the motorised
tailgate function is done in the vehicle settings
menu.
Movement requests of the tailgate should only
be carried out with the vehicle stationary.
Safety anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1 cm from completely closed).
Check that there is enough space to
allow for the movement of the motorised
tailgate. Do not insert your finger in the motorised
tailgate locking system - risk of serious
injury!To avoid the risk of injury through pinching
or trapping, before and during operation of
the motorised tailgate:
-
ensure that there is no person close to
the rear of the vehicle,
- watch the activity of your passengers,
particularly any children.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on a towbar
with connection of a cable to the towbar socket,
the motorised operation of the tailgate will be
automatically deactivated.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not
recommended by PEUGEOT, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.

Hands-Free Access
Activation and deactivation of the
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
system is done in the Driving menu
of the touch screen.
This function is deactivated by default.
The tailgate opens, either completely
by default, or to the position memorised
beforehand.
If motorised operation is not activated,
these actions release the tailgate.
The request to open the tailgate with one
of the controls A
, B or E enables you to
unlock the vehicle or the tailgate alone
beforehand, if selective unlocking of the
boot is activated.
Closing the tailgate with the "hands-free"
access function enables you to lock the
vehicle.
At any point, It is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate.
Pressing one of these controls again
interrupts the movement in progress.
Following the interruption of a movement,
pressing one of these controls again
resumes the movement. Ensure that you are steady on your
feet before per forming the quick foot
movement.

Reinitialising the motorised
tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is
no movement - after detection of an obstacle,
connecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F Open the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F Fully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Memorising an opening
position
To limit the motorised tailgate opening angle:
F open the tailgate to the desired position,
F 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.
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be immobile.
When opening and closing a motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.
Repeatedly opening and closing of the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating
of its electric motor, after which opening
and closing will not be possible.
Allow at least 10 minutes for the electric
motor to cool down before operating the
tailgate again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.
To cancel the memorised position:
F
stop the tailgate in an intermediate
position,
F press button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed by an audible signal.

Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, don't forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
Recommendations related to the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone etc.).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:
-
you hitch or unhitch a trailer,
- you fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
- you load or unload bicycles from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
- you place or lift something behind the
vehicle,
- an animal approaches the rear bumper,
- you are washing your vehicle,
- your vehicle is being serviced,
- you are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the sensor zone or
deactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function.

The programmable heating operates independently from the engine.
With the engine off, it preheats the coolant circuit to ensure optimal engine operating temperature
as soon as it is started up.
The programmable heating is switched on by the long range remote control. It may be immediate or
deferred thanks to a programming function.
Programmable heating
Always switch off the programmable heating when refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or
explosion.
The programmable heating is powered by the vehicle fuel tank. Before use, ensure that
the remaining quantity of fuel is sufficient. If the fuel tank is in its reser ve, we strongly
recommend you do not programme the heating.
To avoid the risks of intoxication or asphyxia, the programmable heating must not be used,
even for short periods, in a closed environment such as a garage or workshop which are not
equipped with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.) - risk of
fire!
The volumetric alarm movement detector
may be disrupted by the programmable
heating air flows when it is operating.
To avoid any untimely triggering of the
alarm when using the programmable
heating, it is advisable that the volumetric
monitoring is deactivated. Adapting the programmable heating
enables you to use it to preheat the
passenger compartment of your vehicle.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
