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.
2
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!

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.
35
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!
