Hands-free tailgate

General points

The motorised operation of the tailgate can be
activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings
menu.
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary.

Safety anti-pinch

The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1 cm from completely closed).

Check that there is enough space to
allow for the movement of the motorised
tailgate.

Never introduce a finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate – Risk of
a serious injury!

66

Access

There are several ways of operating the
tailgate:

A.

using the electronic key of the Keyless
Entry and Starting system,

B.

using the exterior tailgate control,

C.

using the interior tailgate control,

D.

using the control on the dashboard,

E.

using the "hands-free access" procedure
below the rear bumper.

Opening / Closing

Bicycle carrier / Towbar

The motorised tailgate is not designed to
support a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on a towbar
with connection of a cable to the towbar socket,
the motorised operation of the tailgate will be
automatically deactivated.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not
recommended by PEUGEOT, it is essential
to deactivate the motorised operation of the
tailgate.

Motorised operation

Activation / deactivation of the
motorised operation of the tailgate is
done in the Vehicle / Driving menu
of the touch screen.

This function is deactivated by default.

To avoid the risk of injury through pinching
or trapping, before and during operation of
the motorised tailgate:
- ensure that there is no person close to

the rear of the vehicle,

- watch the activity of your passengers,

particularly any children.

F Press and hold the central button A of the

electronic key.

or
F Press the exterior control B on the tailgate

with the electronic key on your person.

or
F Press the interior tailgate control C (closing

or
F Press twice in succession on the dashboard

control D.

or
F With the electronic key on you, use the

"hands-free" access E by performing a
"kicking" movement below the rear bumper.

The command is confirmed by an audible
signal.

The tailgate opens, either completely
by default, or to the position memorised
beforehand.
If motorised operation is not activated,
these actions release the tailgate.
The request to open the tailgate with one
of the controls A, B or E enables you to
unlock the vehicle or the tailgate alone
beforehand, if selective unlocking of the
boot is activated.
Closing the tailgate with the "hands-free"
access function enables you to lock the
vehicle.

feet before performing the quick foot
movement.
Take care not to touch the exhaust system
which may be hot – Risk of burns!

At any point, It is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate.
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.

Precautions in use

Recommendations related
to the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function

If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.

The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a build-up of snow.

If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone etc.).

The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.

The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar.

In some circumstances, the tailgate may open
or close by itself, particularly if:
- you hitch or unhitch a trailer,
- you fit or remove a bicycle carrier,
- you load or unload bicycles from a bicycle

carrier,

- you place or lift something behind the

vehicle,

- an animal approaches the rear bumper,
- you are washing your vehicle,
- your vehicle is being serviced,
- you are accessing the spare wheel

(depending on version).

To avoid such operating problems, keep the
electronic key away from the sensor zone or
deactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function.

In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.

When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.

Reinitialising the motorised
tailgate

This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
connecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F Open the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F Fully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Repeatedly opening and closing of 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.
