Access
► 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.
When opening and closing the motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas struts.
Resistance to opening and closing is therefore
entirely normal.
Precautions in use
To avoid unintentionally opening the
tailgate while operating the towing
device:
– Deactivate the “Hands-Free Tailgate
Access” function in advance in the vehicle
configuration menu.
– Or 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.
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.
Memorising an opening
position
To memorise a position, in order to limit the
motorised tailgate opening angle:
► move the tailgate to the desired position
manually or by pressing the button.
If you are unable to wait, operate it manually.
► press button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (memorisation is confirmed
by a brief audible signal).
Manual closing of the
motorised tailgate in case of
failure
In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove
the snow or wait until the ice melts before
requesting motorised opening of the tailgate.
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.
This operation is only necessary in the case of
failure of the tailgate motor.
When washing
If the failure originates from the battery, it is
recommended to recharge it or change it with the
tailgate closed.
In this situation, a significant force may be
needed to close the tailgate.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, do not forget to lock
the vehicle to prevent any risk of unwanted
opening.
To delete the memorised position:
► open the tailgate to any position.
► press button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (deletion is confirmed by a
long audible signal).
► Close it gently without slamming, as slowly as
possible, by pushing at the centre of the tailgate.
Alarm
(Depending on version)
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at
one of its sides - risk of damage!
