Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low
ceiling,
...) it is possible to limit and memorise
the opening angle of the motorised tailgate.
This memorisation is done as follows:
-

o
pen the tailgate to the desired position,
-

p
ress 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.
To cancel the memorised position:
-

s
top the tailgate in an intermediate
position,
-

p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed by an audible signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and
closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual intervention must be
done with the tailgate stopped.
Repeated opening and closing of the
tailgate can cause overheating of its
electric motor, after which opening and
closing will not be possible.
Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool
down before operating the tailgate
again.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be
encountered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
the closing movement and raises the tailgate a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle. When opening and closing a motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas-filled
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.

Reversing camera
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on version, the image is displayed
in the touch screen or the instrument panel.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of
about

1 and 2 metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent the
maximum turning circle.
The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented by parking sensors.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens. They are represented by lines marked
"on the ground" and do not allow the
position of the vehicle to be determined
relative to tall obstacles (e.g. other
vehicles).
Some deformation of the image is normal.

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument
panel of the near surroundings of your vehicle,
using cameras mounted at the front and rear of
your vehicle and under the door mirrors.
Depending on the angle of view chosen (front
view, rear view or 360° panoramic view),
360 Vision provides special visual assistance
in particular driving conditions such as when
entering a blind junction or manoeuvring in
areas of reduced visibility.
Once activated, this function operates up to
9
mph (15 km/h). Above 18 mph (30 km/h), the
function is deactivated automatically. This system is a visual aid which in no
circumstances can replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The images provided by the cameras
may be deformed by the relief. The
presence of areas in shade, in sunny
conditions, or of low ambient light may
darken the image and reduce contrast.Forward vision
The camera located in the front bumper is
activated and views of the areas located at
front left and front right appear simultaneously
in the instrument panel.
Rear vision
The camera located in the tailgate is activated
and the view of the area behind your vehicle is
displayed in the instrument panel and behaves
like a reversing camera, whatever the position
of the gear selector lever.
The blue lines represent the width of your
vehicle (excluding mirrors): they move
according to the position of the steering wheel.
The red line represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper, and the two green
lines, 1 m and 2 m from the rear bumper,
respectively.
Rear vision is displayed automatically
when engaging reverse, regardless of
the state of the system.

Operation of the rear foglamps is
inhibited with the tailgate open.
Opening the tailgate when these lamps
are on causes them and their indicator
lamp in the instrument panel to go off.
They do not come back on
automatically when the tailgate is
closed: they must be switched on again
using the control stalk.In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you
should switch on the foglamps and
dipped beam headlamps manually,
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and
rear foglamps when they are no longer
necessary.Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.

Roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is essential to use transverse roof bars
that are approved for your vehicle.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use given in the information
provided with the roof bars.Version with
longitudinal bars
To install the roof bars, you must secure
them only to the four anchorage points in the
roof frame. These points are masked by the
vehicle's doors when closed.
The roof bar fixings include a stud that should
be introduced into the aperture at each
anchorage point.
Version without longitudinal
bars
You must fit the transverse bars to the
longitudinal bars at the fixing points indicated
by engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
Recommendations
F Distribute the load evenly, avoiding overloading on one side.
F

A
rrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
F

A
nchor the load securely and fit a warning
flag if part of it overhangs the vehicle.
F

D
rive gently, as the vehicle will be more
liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle
stability may be affected).
F

R
emove the roof bars as soon as they are
no longer needed. Maximum load, distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 80 kg
.
This value is subject to change, please
check the maximum load stated in the
instructions provided with he roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fixings on the vehicle.
Please refer to national legislation so as
to meet the requirements on carrying
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
When carrying long objects, it is
recommended that you deactivate the
motorised operation of the tailgate.
