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
> Vehicle
touch screen application.


There are several ways of operating the tailgate:
A. Using the Keyless Entry and Start system’s
electronic key
B. Using the exterior tailgate control
C. Using the interior tailgate control
D. Using the control on the dashboard
Opening
► A long press on the central button A of the
electronic key.
or
►

A
short press on the exterior tailgate control
B, with the electronic key on your person.
or
► T wo consecutive presses on the control D of
the dashboard.
The tailgate opens, either completely by default, or to the position memorised
beforehand.
If motorised operation is not activated, these
actions release the tailgate (partially-open
position).
When the vehicle is locked, the request to
open the boot with one of the controls A
or B unlocks the vehicle, or only the boot if
selective unlocking is activated, prior to the
opening of the boot.

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:
►

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:
►

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).
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.
►

With the boot open: vigorously move the
tailgate a little in the closing direction to activate
motorised closing.
► 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
► 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

3Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, certain controls
are accessible in the Climate touch
screen application and/via the control panel on
the centre console.
Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/de-icing vents
2. Front side window demisting/de-icing vents
3.Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
7. Adjustable and closable air vents
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►


Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
