Access
Adjusting the opening
height
the maximum opening height of the tailgate
can be set and memorised (restricted overhead
clearance, ...).
this memorisation is done in two steps, by
successive presses on button C:
- during opening, a first press stops the
tailgate at the desired height,
- a second maintained press memorises the
position of the tailgate; an audible signal
confirms the memorisation.
to delete this memorisation, make a new
maintained press until the audible signal is
heard.
"Boot open" warning
With the engine running or when the vehicle is moving,
if the tailgate is not properly closed, a message
accompanied by an audible signal (from 6 mph
(10 km/h)) is displayed in the instrument panel screen.
the tailgate is not designed to support
a bicycle carrier.
If fitting a bicycle carrier to a towbar,
the automatic operation must be
deactivated.

Precautions in use
If snow has accumulated on the
tailgate, remove the snow before any
automatic operation of the tailgate.
Ice can prevent opening of the tailgate:
wait until the ice has melted following
heating of the passenger compartment.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, don't forget to
lock your vehicle to prevent any risk of
unwanted opening.
Repeated opening and closing of the
tailgate can overheat the electric motor;
neither closing nor opening is then
possible.
Allow the motor to cool down for
ten minutes before operating the
tailgate again.
