Using the "Hands-free opening" function

The "Hands-free opening" function allows you to open the luggage compartment without using your hands, which is convenient when your arms are full.

Stand behind the vehicle with the card in the detection zone, within around one metre of the vehicle (zone A), and keep it still for a few seconds to trigger the opening of the luggage compartment.

A sequence of warnings (the indicator lights flash once, then three times accompanied by a beep) indicates the imminent opening of the luggage compartment. At the end of the sequence, the luggage compartment door starts to open automatically.

If you do not wish to open the luggage compartment door, move the card during the warning sequence to cancel the request. If you keep the card still again, a new sequence will start.

Note: if you cancel it several times in a row, the function will be temporarily deactivated.

To reactivate it: Move the card away from zone A, wait a few seconds, then repeat the procedure.

After closing the luggage compartment door, the function is deactivated for a few seconds.

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 started.

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

If a continuous sound signal is heard, the tailgate may be malfunctioning. You can, however, operate it manually.

To reset the automatic functions, close the tailgate completely, wait a few seconds, then use an automatic opening command to reactivate them.
