Hands-free tailgate
General points
The motorised operation of the tailgate can be 
activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings 
menu.
The motorised tailgate must only be operated 
with the vehicle stationary.Never introduce a finger in the locking 
system of the motorised tailgate - Risk 
of a serious injury!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).
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.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not 
recommended by PEUGEOT, it is essential 
to deactivate the motorised operation of the 
tailgate.
Check that there is enough space to 
allow for the movement of the motorised 
tailgate. To avoid the risk of injury through 
pinching or trapping, before and during 
operation of the motorised tailgate:
-
 
e
nsure that there is no person close 
to the rear of the vehicle,
-
 w
atch the activity of your 
passengers, particularly any 
children.

The driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
permitting automatic adjustment of the length 
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is 
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat 
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the 
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic 
locking device which comes into operation in 
the event of a collision, emergency braking 
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release 
the device by pulling the strap firmly and 
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is 
less than 12 years old or shorter than one 
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more 
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to 
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness 
of the impact , the pretensioning device may 
be deployed before and independently of the 
airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners 
is accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp 
comes
 
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-  b e tightened as close to the body as 
possible,
-
 
b
 e pulled in front of you with a smooth 
movement, checking that it does not 
twist,
-
 
b
 e used to restrain only one person,
-
 
n
 ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
 
n
 ot be converted or modified to avoid 
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's 
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, 
particularly if the straps show signs of 
damage.

For optimum installation of the forward facing 
child seat, ensure that the back of the child 
seat is as close as possible to the backrest 
of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.
You must remove the head restraint before 
installing a child seat with backrest to a 
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or 
attached securely to prevent it from being 
thrown around the vehicle in the event of 
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when 
the child seat is removed.
Advice
Installing a booster seat
Children at the frontThe incorrect installation of a child seat in a 
vehicle compromises the child's protection in 
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt 
buckle under the child seat, as this could 
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the 
child seat harnesses keeping the slack 
relative to the child's body to a minimum, 
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat 
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened 
correctly on the child seat and that it secures 
the child seat firmly on the seat of your 
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable, 
move it for wards if necessary. The legislation on carrying children on the 
front passenger seat is specific to each 
country. Refer to the legislation in force in 
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag 
when a rear ward facing child seat is installed 
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously 
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.The chest part of the seat belt must be 
positioned on the child's shoulder without 
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt 
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster 
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt 
guide at shoulder level.
At rear seating positions, always leave 
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
 
a r
 ear ward facing child seat,
-
 
t
 he child's feet for a child seat fitted 
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards 
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the 
upright position. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
 
a c
 hild or children alone and 
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
 
a c
 hild or an animal in a vehicle which 
is exposed to the sun, with the windows 
closed,
-
 
t
 he keys within reach of children inside 
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors 
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by 
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of 
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
