motor can start to overheat and then
cut out, preventing opening and
closing of the tailgate.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten
minutes without opening or closing
the tailgate.
Closing in manual back-up mode
remains possible. To avoid risk of injury, make sure
that no one is in the vicinity of the
boot while opening and closing.
If the tailgate is carrying extra
weight (snow, bicycle carrier, etc.)
there is a risk of it closing under
this load. Support the tailgate or
fi rst unload the bicycle carrier or
clear the snow.
When using an automatic car wash,
don’t forget to lock the vehicle so
as to avoid any risk of motorised
opening of the tailgate.
