Electrical interference
The electronic key may not work if it is
close to an electronic device (e.g. mobile
telephone (switched on or on standby), laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields). If this
occurs, move the electronic key away from
the electronic device.
Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt, etc.) on the inner surface of the door

Access
► 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.

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.
– monitor the activity of the rear 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 the towing
device with connection of the cable to the trailer
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
Motorised operation of the tailgate is set
via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen
menu.

* Depending on version.

There are several ways of operating the tailgate:
A. Using the Keyless Entry and Start system’s
electronic key
B. Using the exterior tailgate control
C. Using the interior tailgate control
D. Using the control on the dashboard*

(closing only).
or
► Two consecutive presses on the control D on
the dashboard.
The tailgate opens, either completely by default, or to the position memorised
beforehand.
If motorised operation is not activated, these
actions release the tailgate (partially-open
position).
When the vehicle is locked, the request to
open the boot with one of the controls A
or B unlocks the vehicle, or only the boot if
selective unlocking is activated, prior to the
opening of the boot.
It is possible to interrupt the operation of
the tailgate at any point.
Pressing one of these controls again
interrupts the movement that is underway.
Following the interruption of a movement,
pressing one of these controls again reverses
the movement.
