Stopping the tailgate
manoeuvre
The automatic tailgate manoeuvre can
be stopped at any time by a short press
on one of the controls.
If the tailgate is stationary in the inter-
mediate position, your next press will
move the tailgate in the opposite direc-
tion to when you stopped it.

form the manoeuvre manually if you
wish.

at any time by pressing one of the con-
trols.

(presence of an object or a person)
during its manoeuvre, it will stop and
reverse its direction by a few degrees
in order to release the obstacle.
Press the tailgate opening/closing con-
trol to reperform the tailgate movement
in the same direction as before encoun-
tering the obstacle.

stances be taken to replace

1.19
AUTOMATIC TAILGATE (5/5)Operating faults
If you activate the automatic tailgate
continuously for around a minute (se-
quence of opening and closing), it will
stop in order to avoid overheating. The
operation will return to normal after
about a minute.
The automatic tailgate will not operate
if the battery is on low charge. In this
case, operate the automatic tailgate
with the engine started.
In very cold weather conditions, the au-
tomatic opening or closing may not op-
erate if the tailgate joints are frozen.
Precautions during use
Before opening/closing the tailgate,
ensure that the surrounding space is
sufficient to allow the tailgate to oper-
ate. If not, stop the tailgate movement
before contact.
The installation of accessories such as
a bicycle carrier on the tailgate will lead
to more weight on the tailgate. The tail-
gate may operate slowly or not open
fully.
If the tailgate is moving and the engine
is started, the movement will stop for a
seconds before continuing.
Avoid multiple manual stops during the
automatic tailgate movement (risk of
damaging the tailgate system).
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not
self-sufficient alone in your
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
