All model variants of the T5 2010 with tailgate are equipped with a tailgate emergency unlocking function.
In case of an emergency when the tailgate can no longer be opened, e.g. because:
●
●
●
The tailgate or the opening mechanism has been damaged due to a crash
The central locking has failed
The opening system has failed on an electrically operated tailgate
then it is possible to open the tailgate from the inside.
The emergency unlocking function is installed on the tailgate above the tailgate lock behind a plastic cover.
The cover cap is identified with the "opened tailgate" symbol.
After the cover cap has been removed, the emergency unlocking function can be actuated manually by pressing
