Never introduce a finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate – risk of a
serious injury!
Safety 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). To avoid the risk of injury through pinching
or trapping, before and during operation of
the motorised tailgate:
-

e
nsure that there is no-one close to the
rear of the vehicle,
-
w
atch the activity of your passengers,
particularly any children.
Bicycle carrier/Towing device
The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on towing
device with connection of a cable to the towing
socket, the motorised operation of the tailgate
will be automatically deactivated.
If using a towing device 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 Driving/Vehicle


menu of
the touch screen.
This function is deactivated by default. There are several ways of operating the tailgate:
Opening/Closing
A.
using the electronic key of the Keyless
Entry and Starting system,
B. using the exterior tailgate control,
C. using the interior tailgate control,
D. using the control on the dashboard,

"kicking" movement below the rear bumper
close to the number plate.
The request is confirmed by the direction
indicators lighting up, together with an audible
signal.
Do not per form another kicking movement
until you have received confirmation of
acknowledgement.
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
function enables you to lock the vehicle. It is possible to interrupt the operation of
the tailgate at any point.
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 function (Hands-Free

Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing a motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.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.
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 qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-

d
eactivate the hands-free function in
advance in your vehicle's configuration
menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate
closed.
For more information on the To w i n g
device with retractable towball , refer to
the corresponding section.
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
requesting 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 function
(Hands-Free Tailgate Access)

tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
interference (smartphone, etc.).
The function may be deactivated or affected if
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:
-

Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated) in the
event of a serious frontal impact to all or part
of the frontal impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
Deactivating the front passenger
airbag
F With the ignition off , open the passenger
door and insert the key in the front
passenger airbag deactivation switch on the
side of the glovebox.
F

T
urn it to the " OFF" position.
F

R
emove the key keeping the switch in the
new position.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning lamps display
screen. It stays on while the airbag
is deactivated.
These front airbags are adaptive. In
particular, their hardness will decrease in
the presence of an occupant of shorter
height, with the seat adjusted to a for ward
longitudinal position. The front airbag inflates between the chest
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.

Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
a "
rear 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, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seats.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed. Installing a booster seat (height adjuster)
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.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended 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.Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.
