Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low c
eiling, ...)  it  is  possible  to  limit  and  memorise Â
t
he  opening  angle  of  the  motorised  tailgate.
This
 memorisation  is  done  as  follows:
-
Â
o
pen  the  tailgate  to  the  desired  position,
-
Â
p
ress  button C  or  the  exterior  control  B for
more
 than  3  seconds.
Memorisation
 of  the  maximum  opening  position Â
o
f  the  tailgate  is  confirmed  by  an  audible  signal.
To
 cancel  the  memorised  position:
-
Â
s
top  the  tailgate  in  an  intermediate Â
p
osition,
-
Â
p
ress  button C  or  the  exterior  control  B for
more
 than  3  seconds.
Cancellation
 of  the  memorised  position  is Â
c
onfirmed  by  an  audible  signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and closed  manually,  even  if  motorised  operation  is Â
a
ctivated.
However,
 any  manual  intervention  must  be Â
d
one  with  the  tailgate  stopped.
Repeated
Â
opening
Â
and
Â
closing
Â
of
Â
the
 t
ailgate
Â
can
Â
cause
Â
overheating
Â
of
Â
its
 e
lectric
Â
motor,
Â
after
Â
which
Â
opening
Â
and
Â
c
losing
Â
will
Â
not
Â
be
Â
possible.
Allow
Â
10
Â
minutes
Â
for
Â
the
Â
motor
Â
to
Â
cool
Â
d
own
Â
before
Â
operating
Â
the
Â
tailgate
Â
ag
ain.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be e ncountered,  the  anti-pinch  system  interrupts Â
t
he  closing  movement  and  raises  the  tailgate  a Â
f
ew  centimetres  to  clear  the  obstacle. When
 opening  and  closing  a  motorised  tailgate Â
m
anually,  there  is  no  assistance  from  gas-filled Â
s
truts.  Resistance  to  opening  and  closing  is Â
t
herefore  entirely  normal.

Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow on  the  tailgate,  clear  the  snow  before Â
c
ommanding  a  motorised  opening  of Â
t
he  tailgate.
The
 formation  of  ice  can  block  the Â
t
ailgate  and  prevent  its  opening:  wait Â
u
ntil  the  ice  melts  with  the  heating  of Â
t
he
 p
assenger
 c
