Access
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.
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
With resumption of the motorised function
It is possible to trigger the tailgate motorisation
manually.
► When the tailgate is open: manoeuvre the
tailgate slightly but firmly to trigger the motorised
closing.
► When the tailgate is partially open:
manoeuvre the tailgate slightly but firmly to
trigger the motorised opening.
Without resumption of the motorised function
► Manoeuvre the tailgate gently without
slamming, as slowly as possible.
When opening and closing the motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas struts.
Resistance to opening and closing is therefore
entirely normal.
If the electric motor overheats
Repeatedly opening and closing the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating of
its electric motor, after which opening and
closing will not be possible.
34
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.
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.
The "Hands-free tailgate/opening"
function is configured in the Settings >
Vehicle touch screen application.
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.
