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.
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.
Motorised operation
Activation / deactivation of the
motorised operation of the tailgate is
done in the Vehicle / Driving
menu
of the touch screen. There are several ways of operating the
tailgate:
Opening / Closing
F Press and hold the central button A of the
electronic key.
or
This function is deactivated by default. A.
using the electronic key of the
K
eyless
Entry and Starting system,
B. using the exterior tailgate control,
C. using the interior tailgate control,
D. using the control on the dashboard,
E. using the "hands-free access" procedure
below the rear bumper. F
P
ress the exterior tailgate control B with the
electronic key on your person.
or
F
P
ress the interior tailgate control C (closing
only).
or
F
P
ress twice in succession on the dashboard
control D .
or
F
W
ith the electronic key on your person, use
the "hands-free" access E by per forming a
"kicking" movement below the rear bumper.
The command is confirmed by an audible
signal.
The tailgate opens, either completely
by default, or to the position memorised
beforehand.
If motorised operation is not activated,
these actions release the tailgate.
The request to open the tailgate with one
of the controls A , B or E enables you to
unlock the vehicle or the tailgate alone
beforehand, if selective unlocking of the
boot is activated.
Closing the tailgate with the "hands-free"
access function enables you to lock the
vehicle.

At any point, It is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate.
Pressing one of these controls again
interrupts the movement that is under way.
Following the interruption of a movement,
pressing one of these controls again
reverses the movement.
Hands-Free Tailgate Access
Activation and deactivation of the
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function is done in the Vehicle /
Driving menu of the touch screen.
Ensure that you are steady on your
feet before per forming the quick foot
movement.
Take care not to touch the exhaust system
which may be hot – Risk of burns!
Automatic locking using the
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function
F press this button; its green indicator lamp will come on.
Pressing this button again
deactivates the function; its indicator
lamp goes off.
Memorising an opening
position
To limit the motorised tailgate opening angle:
F o pen the tailgate to the desired position,
F
p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3
seconds.
Memorisation of the maximum opening position
of the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal. To cancel the memorised position:
F
s
top the tailgate in an intermediate position,
F
p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed by an audible signal.
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be immobile.
When opening and closing a motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.
This function is deactivated by default. To activate automatic locking of the vehicle
when closing the tailgate using the Hands-Free
Tailgate Access function:
Repeatedly opening and closing of 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.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.

Reinitialising the
motorised tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
connecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F

If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
Recommendations related
to the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone, etc.).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. -

(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition
zone or deactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:
-

Driving position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve
your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility
as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably
Whether or not your vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
Driver's side
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
Passenger's side
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.The cushion height should be set so your eyes
are looking at the centre of the windscreen.
The head room should be at least 4
in (10 cm).
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
you can fully press the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
The knee room should be at least 4 in
(10 cm) from the dashboard for access to the
dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a
position as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at least
10 in (25 cm) from your sternum and your arms
are slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the
instrument panel. Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat
so that you are at a distance of at least 10 in
(25 cm) from the dashboard.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
