Notice
General hints for operating
tailgate
At low outside temperatures the
tailgate may not open fully by itself.
In this case lift the tailgate manually
to its normal end position.
The power tailgate has pinch sensors
9 Danger
on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and
chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
The safety function is indicated by a
warning chime.
Remove all obstacles before
resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory-
fitted towing equipment and a trailer
is electrically connected, the power
tailgate can only be opened with the
tailgate button or closed with C in
the open tailgate. Ensure that there
are no obstacles in the moving area.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check
overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Overload
If the power tailgate is repeatedly
operated at short intervals, the
function is disabled for some time.
Move tailgate manually into end
position to reset the system.
Caution
Do not install any carrier onto the
tailgate.
