Precautions in use
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, don't forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
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.
