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.
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.
Motorised operation
Activation / deactivation of the
motorised operation of the tailgate is
done in the Vehicle / Driving


menu
of the touch screen. There are several ways of operating the
tailgate:
Opening / Closing
F Press and hold the central button A of the
electronic key.
or
This function is deactivated by default. A.
using the electronic key of the
K
eyless
Entry and Starting system,
B. using the exterior tailgate control,
C. using the interior tailgate control,
D. using the control on the dashboard,
E. using the "hands-free access" procedure
below the rear bumper. F
P
ress the exterior tailgate control B with the
electronic key on your person.
or
F

only).
or
F
P
ress twice in succession on the dashboard
control D .
or
F
W
ith the electronic key on your person, use
the "hands-free" access E by per forming a
"kicking" movement below the rear bumper.
The command is confirmed by an audible
signal.
The tailgate opens, either completely
by default, or to the position memorised
beforehand.
If motorised operation is not activated,
these actions release the tailgate.
The request to open the tailgate with one
of the controls A , B or E enables you to
unlock the vehicle or the tailgate alone
beforehand, if selective unlocking of the
boot is activated.
Closing the tailgate with the "hands-free"
access function enables you to lock the
vehicle.

motorised tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
connecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F
O
pen the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F

F
ully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
Recommendations related
to the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone, etc.).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. -

vehicle settings menu in the screen.
This function is activated by default.
Of f.
Intermittent wipe.
Wash-wipe.
Turn the ring fully; the rear screen wash, then
the rear wiper automatically operate for a set
duration. In the event of snow or hard frost or if
a bicycle carrier is fitted to a towbar,
deactivate the automatic rear wiper via the
vehicle settings menu.
Front screenwash
F Pull the wiper control stalk towards you.
The screenwash and windscreen wiper operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.The front screenwash includes a wiper
blade system with integral washer jets.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along
the length of the wiper blade. This
improves visibility and reduces the
consumption of screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the
contents or colour of the liquid and on
the outdoor brightness, the liquid spray
may be hardly noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do
not operate the windscreen washer if the
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on
the windscreen and hindering visibility.
Always use windscreen washer fluid
suitable for low temperatures during the
winter period.
Termination of the screenwash is followed by a
final wiping cycle.
Lighting and visibility

Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having
driven at least approximately 600
miles
(1,000


kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
Starting / Switching off
the engine with the key

Ignition on position
If the system fails, as reported by a message,
the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
It has 3 positions:
-
Position 1 (Stop): inserting and removing
the key, steering column locked.
-
Position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running.
-
Position 3 (Starting) .
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Driving

It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay alert and be
prepared to react at any time to avoid an
accident.
Distance alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, different levels of
alert can be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.Level 1 (orange)
: visual alert only,
signalling to you that the vehicle in
front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front.
Level 2 (red) : visual and audible
alert, warning you that a collision is
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before
collision. It takes account of the vehicle
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the
one in front, the environmental conditions, the
operation of the vehicle (cornering, pedals
pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the best
moment.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed:
the level 2 alert may be displayed
di r e c t l y.
Important: alert level 1 is never
displayed when the " Close" trigger
threshold has been selected.

Modifying the alert trigger
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a vehicle moving
or stationary in front of you, or a pedestrian
present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three predefined
thresholds:
-
"Distant ",
-
"Normal ",
-
"Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid
a collision, this system will supplement the
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you
press the brake pedal.

Blind Spot Monitoring
System
This system warns the driver of the presence of
another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their
vehicle (areas hidden from the driver's field
of vision), as soon as this presents a potential
danger.-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This driving aid system is designed to
improve safety when driving and is in no
circumstances a substitute for the use
of the interior rear view mirror and door
mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to
constantly check the traffic, to assess
the distances and relative speeds
of other vehicles and to predict their
movements before deciding whether to
change lane.
This system is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
system is done in the Vehicle /
Driving menu of the touch screen.
Select the " Driving functions " then the "Blind
spot sensors " tab.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots. To deactivate the system, once
again select "
Blind spot sensors "
in the " Driving functions " tab.
The indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.
Operation
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon
as a vehicle – car, lorry, bicycle – is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-

a
ll vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of the vehicle must be between
7 and 87
mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6
mph (10 km/h),
-

a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16
mph (25 km/h),
This indicator lamp lights up on the
instrument panel.
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i

mmediately, when being overtaken, The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.

No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, safety barriers, street
lamps, road signs, etc.),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,
-

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which is
also in the rear blind spot and present in the
driver's front field of vision,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object.
-

t

he traffic is flowing normally,
-

i

n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y

ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y

our vehicle is not towing a trailer, a
caravan, etc.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, this warning
lamp flashes for a few moments in the instrument
panel, accompanied by the Service warning lamp
coming on and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.

Active Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
-
B
lind Spot Monitoring System,
-

A
ctive Lane Departure Warning System.
For more information on the Blind Spot
Monitoring System and the Active Lane
Departure Warning System , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Parking sensors
This function is a manoeuvring aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
The driver must remain attentive and stay
in control of their vehicle.
They must always check the vehicle's
surroundings before undertaking a
manoeuvre.
During the entire manoeuvre, the driver
must ensure that the space remains clear.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, direct the
lance at least 30

cm away from the
sensors.
