Access
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1 cm from completely closed).
To avoid the risk of injury through pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the motorised tailgate:
–

ensure that there is no-one close to the
rear of the vehicle.
–


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*
Opening
► A long press on the central button A of the
electronic key.
or
►

A
short press on the exterior tailgate control
B, with the electronic key on your person.
or
►

T
wo consecutive presses on the control D of
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.
Closing
► A short press on the interior tailgate control C.
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.
Hands-free function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access)
(Depending on version)
With the electronic key on your person, this
function allows the motorised tailgate to be
opened, closed or stopped via a "kicking"
movement under the rear bumper.
The "Hands-Free Tailgate/Access" function is set via the Driving/Vehicle
touch screen menu. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

36
Access
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;
–


operating a towing device;
–


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.
Towing device
The installation of a towing device may
disturb the detection system.
►

Perform the "kicking" movement on the
right side of the towing device.
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
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
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, do not forget to lock and
move away from the vehicle
to prevent any
risk of unwanted opening. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Ease of use and comfort
Depending on version, the automatic
door mirror folding/unfolding function is
configured via the Driving
/ Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Otherwise, this setting can be carried out at a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic tilting in reverse gear
Depending on version, this function allows to
automatically tilt the mirrors downwards to assist
with parking manoeuvres in reverse gear.
With the engine running, on engaging reverse
gear, the mirror glasses tilt downwards.
They return to their initial position:
–

A
few seconds after coming out of reverse
gear.
–

Once the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10

km/h).
–

When the engine is switched off.
This function is set via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
Demisting/Defrosting
The demisting/defrosting of the door mirrors works with the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen.
For more information on Rear screen
demisting/defrosting , refer to the
corresponding section.
Interior rear view mirror



The electrochrome system uses a sensor that
detects the level of exterior brightness and that
coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to
automatically and gradually switch between day
and night usage.
To ensure optimum visibility while manoeuvring, the mirror automatically
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.
The system is deactivated if the load in the
boot exceeds the height of the load space
cover or if the load space cover has items
placed on it.
Rear head restraints







High position (use):
► Pull the head restraint fully up.
Low position (stowing; when the seats are not
in use):
►

Ease of use and comfort
a continuous storage floor through to the back
of the front seats.
By placing the front passenger seat in the
table position, you obtain a continuous
storage floor through to the dashboard.
Operations on the seats must only be
done when the vehicle is stationary.
Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the Climate touch screen menu
or are grouped together on the centre console
panel.
Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/de-icing vents
2. Front side window demisting/de-icing vents
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
7. Adjustable and closable air vents, with blower
(depending on version)
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►

Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Normal wiping (moderate rain)
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
vehicle’s speed)
Switching off
Automatic wiping
Refer to the corresponding section.
Single wipe
► Pull the stalk briefly towards you.
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3
mph (5 km/h).
When the speed is above 6
mph (10 km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
If the ignition has been switched off with
the windscreen wipers active, you must
operate the control stalk again to reactivate
wiping when the ignition is switched on again
(unless the ignition was off for less than
a

minute).
After switching off the ignition, a slight movement of the windscreen wipers to
store them under the bonnet may occur.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.

Safety
Intelligent traction control
(Depending on version)
The intelligent traction control system helps
improve grip when driving on snow.
This system detects situations of poor surface
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the system limits the amount
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and
trajectory control for the vehicle.
The use of winter tyres is strongly recommended on slippery surfaces.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
This function is set via the Driving/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting
of this indicator lamp on the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or at
speeds over 31 mph (50
km/h).
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures provided by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
