Opening/closing the lid

only on vehicles with a
keyless locking system.
The key must not be in
the vehicle and must be
at a distance of max. 2 m
from the tailgate.
The tailgate can also be closed by pulling it briefly
downwards.
Settings

move it again.

Set the uppermost position of the tailgate and
store it
It makes sense to set the top position of the tailgate,
e.g. setting for the opening of the tailgate in a limited
space due to the garage height.
If the lid doesn’t move, wait a few seconds and re-
peat the swing motion.
Display of the opening/ closing process
The rear turn signal lights light up when the lid is
opened and closed. When you close the lid, audible
signals are additionally sounded.
Stop the tailgate in the desired position.
