Access
2Acknowledgement 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
or close, 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.
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
.
–

operating a towing device.
–


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.
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone or
deactivate the hands-free function.

blue).
Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function, and a towing device has been fitted
outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it
is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the detection
system recalibrated
- risk of malfunction of the
Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.

158
Practical information
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
If using accessories attached to the
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow
boxes):
–

Comply with the maximum authorised nose
weight.
–


Do not transport more than 4 conventional
bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.
When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier
on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with hands-free function
(Hands-Free Tailgate Access)
To avoid unintentionally opening the
motorised tailgate when operating the towing

Practical information
Fitting directly to the roof
(Sedan)


At the front

At the rear
The transverse bars must only be attached to
the four anchor points located on the roof frame.
These points are hidden by the door seals; lift up
the seal to access the anchor point.
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted in
the pin of each fixing point.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
(SW)


The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Roof box
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to obtain the compatible
fasteners.


Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars - risk of major damage!
Bicycle / accessory carrier
Do not attach an accessory carrier to the
tailgate.

170
Practical information
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away and deactivate
the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
To clean instrument panels, touch screens
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these
surfaces - risk of damage!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose (temperature
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
