A , press on the handle of one of the four
doors (at the markings) or on the locking
control located on the tailgate.
It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the
electronic keys is left inside the vehicle.
Maintaining pressure on the door
handle or the tailgate control for
more than three seconds allows the
windows and, depending on version,
the sunroof to be closed to the
desired position.
This operation also closes the sunroof blind. For safety and theft protection reasons,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it with
you.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.
If cleaning the inner sur face of the door
handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.
Deadlocking
Deadlocking renders the interior door
controls inoperative.
It also deactivates the interior central
locking button on the dashboard.
Therefore, never leave anyone inside the
vehicle when it is deadlocked.

tailgate.
Access

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:
-

y

-

y

-

y
ou load or unload bicycles to/from a bicycle
