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.
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

O
pen the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F

F
ully close the tailgate manually.
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.

Recalling a stored position
Ignition on or engine running
F
P ress button 1 or 2 to recall the
corresponding position.
An audible signal confirms that adjustment is
complete.
You can interrupt the current movement by
pressing button M , 1
or 2 or by using one
of the seat controls.
A stored position cannot be recalled while
driving.
Recalling stored positions is deactivated
45
seconds after switching off the ignition.
Heated seats
The function is active only with the engine
running.
Switching on
F Each press changes the level of heating; the corresponding number of indicator lamps
come on:
•

1
orange indicator lamp = low.
•

2
orange indicator lamps = medium.
•

3
orange indicator lamps = high.
Switching off
F Press the button again until all the indicator lamps are off.
The state of the system is not kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, you can stop the function;
reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption.
F

P

ress the button corresponding to your
seat. Prolonged use is not recommended for
persons with sensitive skin.
There is a
risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
- i f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-

d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

d
o not use liquid products for cleaning
the seat,
-
n

ever use the heating function when
the seat is damp.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a
risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6 mph
(10

km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.

Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a
genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a
break-in.

-
Position 3 (Starting) .
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
