any risk of the tailgate dropping, potentially

causing serious injury.

Anti-pinch

Hands-free tailgate

The motorised tailgate must only be operated

with the vehicle stationary.

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).

Back-up release

To manually unlock the boot in the event of a

battery or central locking failure.

Unlocking

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.

► Fold the rear seats to gain access to the lock

from inside the boot.

Check that there is enough space to

allow for the movement of the motorised

tailgate.

– monitor the activity of the rear passengers,

particularly any children.

Bicycle carrier / Towbar

The motorised tailgate is not designed to support

a bicycle carrier.

When installing a bicycle carrier on a towbar

with connection of a cable to the towbar socket,

the motorised operation of the tailgate will be

automatically deactivated.

► Insert a small screwdriver into hole A of the

lock to unlock the boot.

► Move the latch to the left.

Locking after closing

If the fault persists after closing again, the boot

will remain locked.

If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not

recommended by PEUGEOT, it is essential

to deactivate the motorised operation of the

tailgate.

In the event of a fault with the central

locking system, it is essential to

disconnect the battery to lock the boot and so

ensure complete locking of the vehicle.

Never insert a ﬁnger in the locking

system of the motorised tailgate - risk of

serious injury!

function opens, closes or stops the movement of

the tailgate with a “kicking” movement below the

rear bumper.

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 controls A, B or

The green indicator lamp comes on to indicate

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

The function is not available when the

vehicle is connected.

Recognition of the “kicking” movement is

conﬁrmed by the lighting of the direction

indicators followed by an audible signal.

that the function is activated.

Recommendations on the hands-free

function (Hands-Free Access)

"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 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.

If the tailgate has not started to open, check that:

– the function is activated.

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;

– 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.

– depositing or lifting something behind the

vehicle;

– an animal approaches the rear bumper;

– washing the vehicle;

Automatic locking with the hands-free

function

– 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.

► 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.

Towing device

The installation of a towing device may

disturb the detection system.

To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate

while operating the towing device:

► To activate/deactivate the automatic locking

of the vehicle when closing the tailgate with the

hands-free function, press this button.

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!
