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

e
nsure that there is no-one close to the
rear of the vehicle,
-
w
atch the activity of your 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 towing
device with connection of a cable to the towing
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
Activation/deactivation of the
motorised operation of the tailgate is
done in the Driving/Vehicle


menu of
the touch screen.
This function is deactivated by default. There are several ways of operating the tailgate:
Opening/Closing
A.
using the electronic key of the Keyless
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 function below the
rear bumper.

on the dashboard.
or
F

W
ith the electronic key on your person, use
the hands-free function E by per forming a
"kicking" movement below the rear bumper
close to the number plate.
The request is confirmed by the direction
indicators lighting up, together with an audible
signal.
Do not per form another kicking movement
until you have received confirmation of
acknowledgement.
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
function enables you to lock the vehicle. It is possible to interrupt the operation of
the tailgate at any point.
Pressing one of these controls again
interrupts the movement that is under way.
Following the interruption of a movement,
pressing one of these controls again
reverses the movement.
Hands-free function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access)
Activation/deactivation of the Hands-
Free Tailgate/Opening function is
done in the Driving/Vehicle


menu of
the touch screen.
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!
Automatic locking by the hands-
free function
F press this button; its green indicator lamp will come on.
Pressing this button again

motorised tailgate opening angle:
F

m
ove the tailgate to the desired position
manually or by pressing the button,
F

p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (the memorisation is

function:
To delete
the memorised position:
F

o
pen the tailgate to any position,
F

p
ress button C or the exterior control B
for more than 3 seconds (the deletion is
confirmed by a long audible signal).
The "kicking" movement must be given in
the walking direction, smoothly, not too fast,
vertically from the bottom up. Raise the foot
sufficiently – while avoiding touching the
bumper – and withdraw it immediately.
Access

51
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing a 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.
Reinitialising the 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 qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-

d
eactivate the hands-free function in
advance in your vehicle's configuration
menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate
closed.
For more information on the To w i n g
device with retractable towball , refer to
the corresponding section.
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
requesting 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 function
(Hands-Free Tailgate Access)
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
interference (smartphone, etc.).
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 if:
-

y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-

y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-

y
ou load or unload bicycles to/from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
- you place or lift something behind the vehicle,- an animal approaches the rear bumper,
- y ou are washing your vehicle,
-
y

our vehicle is being serviced,
-

y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate the hands-free function.
