Hands-free tailgate
General points
The motorised operation of the tailgate can be
activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings
menu.
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary.Never introduce a finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate - Risk
of a serious injury!Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1 cm from completely closed).
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on a towbar
with connection of a cable to the towbar socket,
the motorised operation of the tailgate will be
automatically deactivated.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not
recommended by PEUGEOT, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.
Check that there is enough space to
allow for the movement of the motorised
tailgate. To avoid the risk of injury through
pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the motorised tailgate:
-

e

nsure that there is no person close
to the rear of the vehicle,
-
w
atch the activity of your
passengers, particularly any
children.

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.Repeated opening and closing of
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.
Detection of obstacles
If an obstacle (person or object) is
encountered, the anti-pinch system stops the
closing movement and raises the tailgate by a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle.
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:
F

o
pen the tailgate to the desired position,
F

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:
F

s
top the tailgate in an intermediate
position,
F

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 tailgate can be opened and closed
manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual operation must be done
with the tailgate first stopped.
It is possible to activate automatic locking of
the vehicle on closing the tailgate, using the

the passenger compartment.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, don't forget to
lock your vehicle to avoid the risk of
unexpected opening.

If several passes of your foot below the rear
bumper fail to open the tailgate, wait a few
seconds before starting again.
The function is automatically deactivated in the
event of heavy rain or accumulation of snow.
If the function fails to operate, check that
the electronic key is not exposed to strong
electromagnetic interference (a smartphone, ...).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. In some circumstances, the tailgate may only
open or close, particularly if:
