AUTOMATIC TAILGATE (5/5)Operating faults
If you activate the automatic tailgate
continuously for around a minute (se-
quence of opening and closing), it will
stop in order to avoid overheating. The
operation will return to normal after
about a minute.
The automatic tailgate will not operate
if the battery is on low charge. In this
case, operate the automatic tailgate
with the engine started.
Note
In very cold weather conditions, the au-
tomatic opening may not operate if the
trunk lid joints are frozen.
Precautions during use
Before opening/closing the tailgate,
ensure that the surrounding space is
sufficient to allow the tailgate to ope-
rate. If not, stop the tailgate movement
with the external tailgate control and
hold the tailgate in position by hand
(the tailgate may continue to open ma-
nually).
If the tailgate is moving and the engine
is started, the movement will stop for a
seconds before continuing.
Avoid multiple manual stops during the
automatic tailgate movement (risk of
damaging the tailgate system).
Make sure that the sensors are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, road salt
etc.).
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave your vehicle
with a child, an adult who is not self-
sufficient or a pet inside or at the
rear of the tailgate, even for a short
while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows, the automatic
tailgate or by locking the doors.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Disable the «hands-free» function before washing the vehicle manua\
lly
or handling the emergency spare wheel or the towbar.
Risk of accidental opening or closing of the tailgate which may
cause injury.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES: replacement (1/2)

lease the blade.

23
Refitting
Slide the blade along the arm until
it clips on. Check that it is correctly
locked in place. Lower the windscreen
wiper arm carefully.
With the ignition on, return the wind-
screen wiper stalk to the stop position.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).
NB: Before restarting your vehicle,
lower the windscreen wiper blades
onto the windscreen to avoid any risk
of damaging the bonnet or the wipers.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating or damaging the
blades).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to premature
wear or damage to the blades.
