the tailgate at any point.
Pressing one of these controls again
interrupts the movement that is underway.

the movement.
Hands-free function (“Hands-Free
Tailgate Access”)
With the electronic key on your person , this
function opens, closes or stops the movement of
the tailgate with a “kicking” movement below the
rear bumper.
The "Hands-Free Tailgate/Access" function is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
Ensure that you are steady on your feet
before performing the “kicking”
movement.
Take care not to touch the exhaust system
which may be hot - risk of burns!


► Position yourself behind the vehicle by the
number plate and perform a “kicking” movement
in the
"OK" detection zone.
The “kicking” movement must be given forwards,
smoothly, not too fast and with a vertical
movement from low to high. Raise the foot
sufficiently and remove it immediately.
The taking into account of the “kicking”
movement is confirmed by the lighting of the
direction indicators.
"Sideward kicking" movements do not
work. If the “kicking” movement has not
been detected, wait at least 2 seconds before
repeating the movement.
Do not perform repetitive “kicking”
movements.
If the tailgate has not started to open, check that:
–

the function is activated.
–


the electronic key is on your person, outside
the vehicle in the rear recognition area.
–


the “kicking” movement was performed in the
detection zone, close enough to the bumper

.
–

the foot was removed from the bumper quickly
enough.
Automatic locking with the hands-free
function


► To activate/deactivate the automatic locking
of the vehicle when closing the tailgate with the
hands-free function, press this button.
The green indicator lamp comes on to indicate

Recommendations on the hands-free
function ("Hands-Free Tailgate Access")
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
interference (e.g. smartphone).
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 when:
–
hitching up or removing a trailer;
–


fitting or removing a bicycle carrier;
–


loading or unloading bicycles on / from a
bicycle carrier;
–


depositing or lifting something behind the
vehicle;
–


an animal approaches the rear bumper;
–


washing the vehicle;
–


maintenance is performed on the vehicle;
–


accessing the spare wheel.
T

o avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the recognition zone or
deactivate the hands-free function.
The installation of a towing device may disturb the detection system.
Memorising an opening
position
To memorise a position, in order to limit the
motorised tailgate opening angle:
► move the tailgate to the desired position
manually or by pressing the button.
►

press button
C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (memorisation is confirmed
by a brief audible signal).
Memorising is not available until the
height of opening is more than or equal
to 1 metre between the low position and the
high position of the tailgate.
To delete the memorised position:
►

open the tailgate to any position.
►


press button
C or the exterior control B for
more than 3 seconds (deletion is confirmed by a
long audible signal).
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing the 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.
Manual closing of the
motorised tailgate in case of
failure
This operation is only necessary in the case of
failure of the tailgate motor .
If the failure originates from the battery, it is
recommended to recharge it or change it with the
tailgate closed.
In this situation, a significant force may be
needed to close the tailgate.
►

Close it gently without slamming, as slowly as
possible, by pushing at the centre of the tailgate.
Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at
one of its sides - risk of damage!
Precautions in use
To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate while operating the towing
device:
–

Deactivate the “Hands-Free
Tailgate
Access” function in advance in the vehicle
configuration menu.
–

Or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
For more information on the T

owing device
with quickly detachable towball , refer to the
corresponding section.
In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove
the snow or wait until the ice melts before
requesting motorised opening of the tailgate.

When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, do not forget to lock
the vehicle to prevent any risk of unwanted
opening.

enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45
seconds after
turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof when driving - risk of serious
injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars does not
interfere with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a shower
or washing the vehicle, wait until it is
completely dry before opening.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Check the condition of the sunroof seals
regularly (presence of dust or deposits,
dead leaves, etc.).
If using a car wash, check that the roof is
correctly closed in advance and keep the
tip of the high-pressure lance at least 30
centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. All intermediate positions
are allowed.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle,
the partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.
Before operating the sunroof or blind
control buttons, ensure that no object or
person might prevent the movement.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the sunroof or blind.
If something is trapped when operating the
sunroof or blind, you should reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing
the control in question.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the sunroof and blind correctly.
Anti-pinch system
If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle
when closing, the movement is automatically
reversed.
The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be
effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120
km/h).

position of the sunroof: the blind cannot
go further than the front of the mobile glass.
During simultaneous movements of the
sunroof and blind, the blind automatically
stops or resumes movement depending on
the position of the sunroof.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery or in the
event of a fault or jerky movement of the sunroof
or blind, reinitialisation is required.

adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.

that you can fully depress the pedals with legs
slightly flexed.
The distance between your knees and the
dashboard should be at least 10 cm, for easy
access to the dashboard controls.

steering wheel with both hands at the 'quarter to
three' position, so that you can easily and quickly
reach the controls behind and near the steering
wheel.
