Memorising an opening
position
To memorise a position, in order to limit the
motorised tailgate opening angle:
► 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).
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.
To delete the memorised position:
►

open the tailgate to any position.
►


press button
C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (deletion is confirmed by a
long audible signal).
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

Towing device
Distribution of loads
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum load which
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per
1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. It is recommended that the
installation be performed by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a motorised tailgate and its
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function, if a
towing device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT
dealer network, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the detection system - risk of
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated if an approved
towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on the vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data section
of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball) also includes the
use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow
boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
