previously locked or unlocked.
Preventing inadvertent opening
In situations where the tailgate should not
be opened with no-touch activation, ensure that
the remote control is located beyond the range
of the sensor, at least 5 ft/1.50 m from the rear

tently, for example by an unintentional or misin‐
terpreted movement of the foot.◀

the tailgate.

tempts to steal a wheel or when towing the
car.▷Interruptions in battery voltage.
The alarm system briefly indicates tampering:
▷By sounding an acoustic alarm.▷By switching on the hazard warning system.▷By flashing the high beams.
Arming and disarming the alarm
system

the remote control, Comfort Access or at the
door lock the alarm system is armed or disarmed
at the same time.

mote control.
