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 “Handsfree Trunk Opening” function is configured in the Settings > Vehicle touchscreen 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 – the risk of burns!

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
The function is not available when the vehicle is connected.

Position yourself behind the vehicle by the number plate and perform a “kicking” movement in the “OK” detection zone.
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. “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.

If the motorised tailgate has not started to open or close, check that:

• the function is activated.
• 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.

When the vehicle is locked, the request to open the tailgate with this function unlocks the vehicle, or only the tailgate if 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.

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.
• operating a towing device.
• 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.
• maintenance is performed on the vehicle.
• accessing the spare wheel.

To avoid such operating problems, keep the electronic key away from the recognition zone or deactivate the hands-free function.

Towing device
The installation of a towing device may disturb the detection system.

• Perform the “kicking” movement on the right side of the towing device.

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).

A new memorisation operation cancels the previous one. Memorising is not available until the height of the 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.
Move the tailgate as slowly and smoothly 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.

In case of the motor overheating
Repeatedly opening and closing 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.

Manual closing of the motorised tailgate in case of failure
This operation is only necessary in the case of failure or deinitialisation/loss 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.

Alarm

(Depending on version)

A system which protects and provides a deterrent against theft and break-ins.

Exterior perimeter monitoring
The system checks for the opening of the vehicle. The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a door, the boot or the bonnet, for example.
Interior volumetric monitoring

The system checks for any variation in volume in the passenger compartment. The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger compartment or moves inside the vehicle.

Anti-tilt monitoring
The system checks for any change in the attitude of the vehicle. The alarm goes off if the vehicle is lifted or moved. When the vehicle is parked, the alarm will not be triggered if the vehicle is knocked.

Rechargeable hybrid or electric vehicles
Depending on the version, interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring may be reduced or even suspended during temperature pre-conditioning sequences.

Self-protection function
The system checks whether any of its components are out of service.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central control or the siren wiring is put out of service or damaged.

Locking the vehicle with full alarm system

Activation

• Switch off the ignition and exit the vehicle.
• Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the remote control or by pressing on the driver’s door handle.

The monitoring system is also activated when the driver moves away from the vehicle. When the monitoring system is active, the red indicator lamp in the button flashes once per second and the direction indicators come on for about 2 seconds. The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated after 5 seconds and the interior volumetric monitoring after 45 seconds.

Door, boot or bonnet
If an opening is not properly closed, the vehicle is not locked, but the exterior perimeter monitoring will be activated after 45 seconds, at the same time as the interior volumetric monitoring.

Sunroof
If the sunroof remains open, the vehicle is locked with exterior perimeter monitoring activated but without interior volumetric or anti-tilt monitoring.

Locking the vehicle with exterior perimeter monitoring only
Deactivate the interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring to avoid the unwanted triggering of the alarm, in certain cases such as:

• Presence of an occupant or a pet.
• Slightly open window.
• Washing the vehicle.
• Changing a wheel.
• Towing the vehicle.
• Transport on a ship or ferry.

Deactivating the interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring

• Switch off the ignition and within 10 seconds press the alarm button until its red indicator lamp is on fixed.
• Get out of the vehicle.
• Immediately lock the vehicle using the remote control or the Keyless Entry and Start system. Only the exterior perimeter monitoring is activated; the button’s red indicator lamp flashes once every second.

To take effect, this deactivation must be carried out after each time the ignition is switched off.

Reactivating the interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring

• Deactivate the exterior perimeter monitoring by unlocking the vehicle using the remote control or the Keyless Entry and Start system. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
• Reactivate all monitoring by locking the vehicle using the remote control or the Keyless Entry and Start system.
  The red indicator lamp in the button once again flashes every second.

Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by the sounding of the siren and flashing of the direction indicators for 30 seconds. Depending on the country of sale, certain monitoring functions remain active until the alarm has been triggered eleven times consecutively. When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control or the Keyless Entry and Start system, rapid flashing of the red indicator lamp in the button informs you that the alarm was triggered during your absence. When the ignition is switched on, this flashing stops.

Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:

• Unlock the vehicle using the key in the front left-hand door lock.
• Open the door; the alarm is triggered.
• Switch on the ignition; this stops the alarm. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

Locking the vehicle without activating the alarm

• Lock the vehicle using the key (built-in the remote control) in the front left-hand door lock.

Automatic activation
(Depending on version) The system is activated automatically 2 minutes after the last door or the boot is closed.

• To avoid triggering the alarm on entering the vehicle, first press the unlocking button on the remote control or unlock the vehicle using the “Keyless Entry and Start” system.

Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, the fixed lighting of the red indicator lamp in the button indicates a system malfunction. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

1. Left-hand front
2. Right-hand front
3. Left-hand rear
4. Right-hand rear
5. Deactivation of electric window controls located by rear seats

Manual operation

• To open/close the window, press/pull the switch without passing the point of resistance; the window stops as soon as the switch is released.

Automatic operation

• To open/close the window, press/pull the switch past its resistance point: the window opens/closes completely when the switch is released. Operating the switch again stops the movement of the window.
