or closed manually. After detecting
numerous obstructions in a single open
or close cycle, the liftgate will lock and
must be opened or closed manually.
The liftgate must be fully open to
be closed using the button inside the
luggage compartment. If the liftgate
is not fully open, open it using the key
and then close it using the button in the
boot.
The power liftgate will not operate
in temperatures below −30° C or
temperatures above 65° C. Be sure to
remove any build-up of snow or ice from
the liftgate before pushing any of the
power liftgate switches.
If liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, it may need to be closed
manually to reset the power liftgate
function.
Gas props support the liftgate in the
open position. However, because the gas
pressure drops with temperature, it may
be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
Before driving off, check the
instrument panel for a liftgate or door
open message or warning indicator.
Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open
while driving.
If your liftgate is power closing and
you put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate
will continue to power close. However,
vehicle movement may result in a
detection of an obstruction.
If the electronic liftgate release handle
is pushed with the power liftgate is
opening, the liftgate motor will disengage
to allow manual operation.
If the electronic liftgate release handle
is pushed while the power liftgate is
closing, the liftgate will reverse to the
full open position.
If a gear is engaged while the liftgate
is closing, it will continue to close.
In any case, the liftgate may detect
obstacles while the vehicle is moving.
It is recommended to use the
automatic opening function: manual
movement of the liftgate can activate the
obstacle detection sensors and interrupt
or reverse the door travel.

NOTE Allow the power system to open
the liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling
the liftgate may activate the liftgate
obstacle detection feature and stop the
power operation or reverse its direction.

AUTOMATICALLY OPENING AND
CLOSING THE ELECTRICALLY
OPERATED LIFTGATE IN
“HANDS-FREE”MODE
(where provided)
To operate the system in “hands-free”
mode, proceed as follows:
if the doors are locked or unlocked,
the system must recognise the electronic
key fob near the liftgate;
go to the rear of the car, in the centre
and about 50 cm from the liftgate;
move your foot under the bumper,
simulating a kick. When you have done
this movement, withdraw your leg. To
activate the movement, both sensors
must detect your leg fig. 55.

If it is closed, the electrically
operated/hands-free liftgate:
unlocks and opens completely;
with another movement of the foot, it
stops;
a further movement of the foot
reverses the direction and closes the
liftgate completely, if you do not stop it
again.
If it is open, with a movement of the
foot, the electrically operated/hands-free
liftgate:
closes completely;
another movement of the foot before it
closes completely will stop it;
