Access
Hands-free sliding side
door(s)
Opening/Closing

With a movement of your foot while keeping the
remote control on your person in the recognition
zone A, the system unlocks and opens the
sliding side door or closes and locks it.
The remote control must be located at the rear
of the vehicle, at least about 30
cm but no more
than about 2
m from the vehicle.
The automatic locking after closing the door can be programmed in the vehicle
configuration menu.
Before making the movement with your
foot, ensure that you are steady and well
positioned, so that you do not lose your
balance (rain, snow, ice, mud, etc.).
Take care not to touch the exhaust tailpipe
when making the movement with your foot -
risk of burns.


► Put your foot beneath the corner of the rear
bumper , then move the foot at normal speed with
a sweeping side movement.
The sensor detects the foot approaching and
leaving and triggers the opening or closing of the
side door.
Make the movement without interruption
and do not repeat it immediately
afterwards or several times.
If the door does not open, wait about
2

seconds before trying again.
Do not keep the foot in the air.
Confirmation that the door is going to
open or close is signalled by the direction
indicators flashing for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
The movement of the door is reversed if the
movement of the foot takes place during the
manoeuvre.
If the vehicle is so equipped, the electric door
mirrors fold/unfold on locking/unlocking the
vehicle.
Automatic locking
The vehicle locks itself following the hands-free
closing of the sliding door.
If your vehicle is not fitted with an alarm,
locking is signalled by the fixed
illumination of the direction indicators for
about two seconds.
Depending on your version, the door mirrors
fold at the same time.
Activation/Deactivation
With audio system or touch screen
By default, hands-free access is activated.The "Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function or automatic vehicle
locking when the sliding door is closed is
activated and deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.

no effect, wait a few seconds before starting
again.
The system is automatically deactivated in
heavy rain or with accumulations of snow

If it does not work, make sure that the
remote control is not exposed to a source of
electromagnetic interference (smartphone,
etc.).
Operation may be affected if using a
prosthetic leg.

while switching the ignition on again, then

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away and deactivate
the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
To clean instrument panels, touch screens
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these
surfaces - risk of damage!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of
light, through variations in appearance and
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that
remain visible and create a unique satin effect
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic
roller-brush car wash.
