Driver's responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle

Never leave your vehicle with a child, an adult who is not self-sufficient or a pet inside or at the rear of the tailgate, even for a short while.

They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows, the automatic tailgate or by locking the doors.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

warning

It is prohibited to attach any carrying equipment (bike rack, luggage box etc.) resting against the spoiler or tailgate.

To install a carrying device on your vehicle, contact an approved dealer.

Opening/Closing

The opening or closing of the automatic boot is indicated by three beeps.

warning

Ensure that no one is near the moving parts when opening/closing the boot lid.

Risk of injury.

Depending on the equipment, the boot lid locks and unlocks simultaneously with the doors.

The following modes are available for operating the boot lid:

  • using the card as a remote control;
  • using the controls on the boot lid;
  • using the panel control.
warning

For safety reasons, the doors should only be opened/closed when the vehicle is stationary.

Risk of injury.

tip

To prevent damage to the boot lid system, do not manually force the boot lid to open or close it while it is moving.

Using the remote control card

With the engine off, hold down switch 1 on the card while near the boot.

Using the external boot lid opening control

Press control 2.

Using the internal trunk lid closing control

Press control 3.

Using the dashboard control

To open the boot, hold down switch 4 until you hear the beep, then immediately release the switch.

Note: If the switch is not released quickly enough (within approximately one second) after the beep, the boot lid will not open. In this case, repeat the sequence.

To close the boot, hold down switch 4 until the boot closes completely. A beep sounds throughout the operation.

Note: If you release switch 4 before the boot is completely closed, the closing operation is stopped.

Hands-free

(depending on the vehicle)

The "hands-free" function allows you to access the boot with your hands full. Make sure the card is at the rear of the vehicle (zone B). Position yourself approximately 45 cm from the rear bumper of the vehicle and move your foot forward or backward in zone A. The sensor detects the approach and then the distance of your foot and triggers the opening or closing of the boot lid.

Don't keep your foot in the air. Perform the movement continuously and without touching the rear bumper.

Note: When the boot lid is open, after detecting a close command, it waits approximately three seconds before closing (a beep sounds every second).

Activating and deactivating hands-free mode

On the multimedia screen, in the "Vehicle" menu, select the "Vehicle" tab and then the "Access" menu. Turn Hands-Free Locking/Unlocking on or off.

Special features of using the hands-free function

  • The hands-free function is no longer available after several days of vehicle inactivity or after approximately 10 minutes if the vehicle is unlocked. To reactivate it, press the unlock button on the card.
  • The hands-free function is only available when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is switched off (and not in standby mode for the "Stop and Start" function).
  • The hands-free function may not work if the vehicle is equipped with a towbar or if it is located in an area with high electromagnetic radiation.

Disable the hands-free function before:

  • washing the vehicle at a carwash;
  • washing the vehicle by hand;
  • handling the spare tyre or tow bar;
  • ...

Risk of unintentionally opening the boot lid, which could cause injury.

Stopping the tailgate manoeuvre

The automatic tailgate manoeuvre can be stopped at any time by a short press on one of the opening/closing controls.

If the tailgate is stationary in the intermediate position, your next press will move the tailgate in the opposite direction to when you stopped it.

Manual mode

After stopping the tailgate, you can perform the manoeuvre manually if you wish.

You can switch to the automatic manoeuvre at any time by pressing one of the controls.

Obstacle detection

If the tailgate detects an obstacle during its manoeuvre then it will stop. It will then be released from the obstacle following a small movement in the opposite direction, before stopping completely.

Press a tailgate opening/closing control to resume the tailgate operation.

warning

The obstacle detection is an aid to opening and closing the tailgate, it does not in any way replace the user's care or responsibility.

When opening/closing the tailgate:

  • check that nobody is near any of the moving parts;
  • small objects may not be detected. Ensure that no body parts (arms, hands, fingers, etc.) are near the moving tailgate parts.

The detection of obstacles is inactive at the end of the movement, before the tailgate is fully closed.

If the tailgate jams, stop the operation by pressing briefly on one of the opening/closing controls.

Risk of serious injury.

Limiting the opening angle of the boot lid

You can adjust the maximum opening height of the boot lid. It will always stop at the chosen position:

  • Open the boot lid in an intermediate position;
  • manually adjust the boot lid to the chosen position;
  • press the automatic boot lid control 3 for more than three seconds to save the position.

Two beeps will sound to notify you that the setting has been saved.

User precautions

  • Before opening/closing the tailgate, ensure that the surrounding space is sufficient to allow the tailgate to operate.
  • Avoid multiple manual stops during the automatic tailgate movement (risk of damaging the tailgate system).

Operating faults

If you operate the automatic tailgate continuously for about a minute (a series of openings and closings), it locks to prevent overheating. The system becomes operational again after about a minute.

The automatic tailgate will not operate if the battery is on low charge. In this case, operate the automatic tailgate with the engine running.

Note: in very cold weather conditions, the automatic opening may not work if the tailgate seals are frozen.
