9 Warning
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low vehicle battery
conditions. In this case, the tailgate
can even not be operated manually.
Caution
Note
With the power tailgate disabled and
all doors unlocked, the tailgate can
only be operated manually. In this
event, manually closing the tailgate
requires significantly greater force.
Do not use the system if there are
people in the vehicle! The doors
cannot be unlocked from the
inside.
Before opening the tailgate, check
overhead obstructions, such as a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
The system deadlocks all the doors.
All doors must be closed and the
electronic key must not remain in the
vehicle. Otherwise the system cannot
be activated.
If the ignition was on, the driver's door
must be opened and closed once so
that the vehicle can be secured.
Unlocking the vehicle disables the
mechanical anti-theft locking system.
This is not possible with the central
locking button in the passenger
compartment.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Note
Power tailgate: If the lifters of the
open tailgate lose pressure, the
tailgate falls a bit and will then be
stopped by the system. Following
the tailgate will be power opened
and closed. During this the tail lights
will flash and a chime will sound.
After closing, the tailgate may not be
operated until it has been serviced
by a workshop.
