Access

essential to deactivate the motorised

operation of the tailgate.

Motorised operation

The motorised operation of the tailgate is

conﬁgured in the Settings > Vehicle

touch screen application.

► Insert a small screwdriver into hole A of the

lock to unlock the boot.

► Move the latch to the left.

Never insert a ﬁnger in the locking

system of the motorised tailgate - risk of

serious injury!

Locking after closing

If the fault persists after closing again, the boot

will remain locked.

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.

Motorised tailgate (SW)

(Depending on version)

The motorised tailgate must only be operated

with the vehicle stationary.

– monitor the activity of the rear passengers,

particularly any children.

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

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.

Opening

► A long press on the central button A of the

electronic key.

Check that there is enough space to

allow for the movement of the motorised

tailgate.

If using a towing device or bicycle carrier

not recommended by PEUGEOT, it is

► A short press on the exterior tailgate control

B, with the electronic key on your person.

Access

The "Hands-free tailgate/opening"

function is conﬁgured in the Settings >

Vehicle touch screen application.

► Position yourself behind the vehicle by the

number plate and perform a "kicking" movement

in the "OK" detection zone.

► Two consecutive presses on the control D on

the dashboard.

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.

Acknowledgement of the "kicking" movement

is conﬁrmed by the lighting of the direction

indicators.

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.

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!

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

The function is not available when the

vehicle is connected.

"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.

Closing

► A short press on the interior tailgate control C.

If the motorised tailgate has not started to open,

check that:

– the function is activated.

It is possible to interrupt the operation of

the tailgate at any point.

– 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.

Pressing one of these controls again

interrupts the movement that is underway.

Hands-free function (Hands-

Free Tailgate Access)

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.

When the vehicle is locked, the request

to open the tailagte with this function

unlocks the vehicle, or only the tailgate if

Access

selective unlocking is activated, prior to the

opening of the tailgate.

Closing the tailgate with the “Hands-Free

Tailgate Access” function enables you to lock

the vehicle.

Towing device

The installation of a towing device may

disturb the detection system.

To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate

while operating the towing device:

► remove the electronic key from the

recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.

For more information on the Towing device

with quickly detachable towball, refer to the

corresponding section.

The tailgate must be stationary.

With resumption of the motorised function

The motorised tailgate function can be activated

manually.

► With the boot open: vigorously move the

tailgate a little in the closing direction to activate

motorised closing.

► With the boot partly open: vigorously move

the tailgate a little in the opening direction to

activate motorised opening.

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;

Without resumption of the motorised

function

Memorising an opening

position

To limit the opening angle of the motorised

tailgate:

► 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).

► Move the tailgate as slowly and smoothly as

possible.

Assistance from the gas struts is no longer

available when opening and closing the

motorised tailgate manually. Resistance to

opening and closing is therefore quite normal.

In case of the motor overheating

Repeatedly opening and closing the

tailgate can cause overheating of its electric

motor, after which opening and closing will not

be possible.

Allow the electric motor to cool down for at

least 10 minutes before carrying out any

manoeuvre.

A new memorisation operation cancels the

previous one.

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.

– maintenance is performed on the vehicle;

– accessing the spare wheel.

If you are unable to wait, operate it manually.

To avoid such operating problems, keep the

electronic key away from the recognition zone or

deactivate the hands-free function.

Manual operation

The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even

with motorised operation activated.
