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.

► 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.
–
