Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items at the back of the boot, as
close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.

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)
If several kicking movements to operate the
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:
-

y
ou hitch or unhitch a trailer,
-

y
ou fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
-

y
ou load or unload bicycles to/from a bicycle
c a r r i e r,
- you place or lift something behind the vehicle,- an animal approaches the rear bumper,
- y ou are washing your vehicle,
-
y

our vehicle is being serviced,
-

y
ou are accessing the spare wheel
(depending on version).
To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone
or deactivate the hands-free function.
