Access

Never insert a finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate - risk of
serious injury!
To avoid the risk of injury through pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the motorised tailgate:
–

ensure that there is no-one close to the
rear of the vehicle.
–


monitor the activity of the rear passengers,
particularly any children.
Bicycle carrier/Towing device
The motorised tailgate is not designed to support
a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on the towing
device with connection of the cable to the trailer
socket, the motorised operation of the tailgate
will be automatically deactivated.
If using a towing device or bicycle carrier
not recommended by PEUGEOT, it is
essential to deactivate the motorised
operation of the tailgate.
Motorised operation
The motorised operation of the tailgate is configured in the Settings

Access
2Hands-free function (Hands-
Free Tailgate Access)
With the electronic key on your person, this
function allows the motorised tailgate to be
opened, closed or stopped via a "kicking"
movement under the rear bumper.
The "Handsfree Trunk Opening" function is configured in the Settings
> Vehicle
touch screen application.
Ensure that you are steady on your feet
before performing the "kicking"
movement.
Take care not to touch the exhaust system
which may be hot - risk of burns!
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
The function is not available when the
vehicle is connected.


â–º Position yourself behind the vehicle by the
number plate and perform a "kicking" movement
in the "
OK" detection zone.
The "kicking" movement must be given forwards,
smoothly, not too fast and with a vertical
movement from low to high. Raise the foot
sufficiently and remove it immediately.
Acknowledgement of the "kicking" movement
is confirmed by the lighting of the direction
indicators.
"Sideward kicking" movements do not
work. If the "kicking" movement has not
been detected, wait at least 2 seconds before
repeating the movement.
Do not perform repetitive "kicking"
movements.
If the motorised tailgate has not started to open,
check that:
–

the function is activated.
–


the electronic key is on your person, outside
the vehicle in the rear recognition area.
–


the "kicking" movement was performed in the
detection zone, close enough to the bumper

.
–

the foot was removed from the bumper quickly
enough.
Automatic locking
It is possible to lock automatically the vehicle
using the hands-free function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access).
The "Handsfree Trunk Locking" function is configured in the Settings
> Vehicle
touch screen application.
When the vehicle is locked, the request
to open the tailgate with this function
unlocks the vehicle, or only the tailgate if
selective unlocking is activated, prior to the
opening of the tailgate.
Closing the tailgate with the "Hands-Free
Tailgate Access" function enables you to lock
the vehicle. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

36
Access
Recommendations on the hands-free
function (Hands-Free Tailgate Access)
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open or
close by itself, particularly when:
–
hitching up or removing a trailer;
–


fitting or removing a bicycle carrier;
–


loading
or unloading bicycles on/from a bicycle
carrier;
–

depositing or lifting something behind the
vehicle;
–


an animal approaches the rear bumper;
–


washing the vehicle;
–


maintenance is performed on the vehicle;
–


accessing the spare wheel.
T

o avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone or
deactivate the hands-free function.
Towing device
The installation of a towing device may
disturb the detection system.
To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate
while operating the towing device:
â–º

remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
For more information on the Towing device
with quickly detachable towball , refer to the
corresponding section.
Memorising an opening
position
To limit the opening angle of the motorised
tailgate:
â–º

move the tailgate to the desired position
manually or by pressing the button.
â–º


press button
C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (memorisation is confirmed
by a brief audible signal).
A new memorisation operation cancels the
previous one.
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.
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
With resumption of the motorised function
The motorised tailgate function can be activated
manually.
â–º

With the boot open: vigorously move the
tailgate a little in the closing direction to activate
motorised closing.
â–º With the boot partly open: vigorously move
the tailgate a little in the opening direction to
activate motorised opening.
Without resumption of the motorised
function
â–º Move the tailgate as slowly and smoothly as
possible.
Assistance from the gas struts is no longer
available when opening and closing the
motorised tailgate manually
. Resistance to
opening and closing is therefore quite normal.
In case of the motor overheating
Repeatedly opening and closing the
tailgate can cause overheating of its electric
motor, after which opening and closing will not
be possible.
Allow the electric motor to cool down for at
least 10 minutes before carrying out any
manoeuvre.
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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

37
Access
2In this situation, a significant force may be
needed to close the tailgate.
â–º
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
In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove
the snow or wait until the ice melts before
requesting motorised opening of the tailgate.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, do not forget to lock and
move away from the vehicle
to prevent any
risk of unwanted opening.
Alarm
(Depending on version)

The system checks for any variation in volume in
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a
window, enters the passenger compartment or
moves inside the vehicle.
Anti-tilt monitoring

of the vehicle.
The alarm goes off if the vehicle is lifted or
moved.
When the vehicle is parked, the alarm
will not be triggered if the vehicle is
knocked.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Depending on version, interior volumetric
and anti-tilt monitoring may be reduced or
even suspended during temperature pre-
conditioning sequences.
Self-protection function
The system checks whether any of its
components are out of service.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central
control or the siren wiring is put out of service or
damaged.
Work on the alarm system
