Peugeot 2008: Unlocking the vehicle / Boot
Opening
- After unlocking the vehicle or just the boot, press the opening control
and then raise the tailgate.
Closing
- Lower the tailgate using one of the interior grab handles.
If the tailgate is not properly
closed, this warning lamp comes on accompanied by a message, if the engine is
running, and an audible signal, if the vehicle is travelling at more than 6 mph
(10 km/h).
In the

tailgate, have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without
delay, to avoid the issue deteriorating and prevent any risk of the tailgate
dropping, potentially causing serious injury.
