Locking the vehicle
Normal locking
►  Press the locking button.
The locking, and the activation of the alarm
depending on version, is confirmed by the lighting
of the direction indicators.
Depending on version, the door mirrors fold.

alarm, it will be activated after 45 seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or boot
are not subsequently opened, the vehicle will
automatically lock itself again after about
30 seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.

inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.

Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.

particularly any children.
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 the Manufacturer, it
is essential to deactivate the motorised
operation of the tailgate.
Motorised operation
The motorised operation of the tailgate is
configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch
screen application.


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
D. Using the control on the dashboard
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.
or
►  Two consecutive presses on the control D on
the dashboard.
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.
Memorising an opening
position
To limit the opening angle of the motorised
tailgate:
►  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).
A new memorisation operation cancels the
previous one.

35
Access02
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.
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing the motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas struts.
Resistance to opening and closing is therefore
entirely normal.
Repeatedly opening and closing 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.
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.
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 "Handsfree Trunk Opening" function is
configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch
screen application.
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.

36
Access02

► 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.
Acknowledgement of the "kicking" movement
is confirmed by the lighting of the direction
indicators.
"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 activ
ated.
–

the electronic k
ey is on your person, outside the
vehicle in the rear recognition area.
–

the "kicking" mo
vement was performed in the
detection zone, close enough to the bumper.
–

the foo
t was removed from the bumper quickly
enough.
Automatic locking
It is possible to lock automatically the vehicle
using the hands-free function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access).
The "Handsfree Trunk Locking" function is
configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch
screen application.
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:
–

hit
ching up or removing a trailer;
–

fitting or remo
ving a bicycle carrier;
–

loading or unloading bic
ycles on/from a bicycle
carrier;
–

depo
siting or lifting something behind the
vehicle;
–

an animal approache
s the rear bumper;
–

w
ashing the vehicle;
–

main
tenance is performed on the vehicle;
–

ac
cessing 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.
To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate
while operating the towing device:

37
Access02
►  remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
For more information on the Towing device
with quickly detachable towball, refer to the
corresponding section.
