Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate is open when the engine is running, particu-
larly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust fumes
could enter the passenger compartment.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the tail-
gate. Never drive with the tailgate open. G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The tailgate swings upwards and to the
rear when opened. Therefore, make sure
that there is sufficient clearance above and behind the tailgate.
The opening dimensions on the tailgate can
be found in the "Vehicle data" section
(Y page 478).
i You can limit the opening angle of the
tailgate (Y page 105).
Do not leave the key in the luggage compart- ment. You could otherwise lock yourself out.
Stow luggage or loads preferably in the lug-
gage compartment. Observe the loading
guidelines (Y page 370). Tailgate obstruction detection with
reversing function
Vehicles with remote tailgate closing fea-
ture: the tailgate is equipped with automatic
obstacle recognition with a reversing feature. If a solid object blocks or restricts the tailgate when automatically opening, this procedure
is stopped. If a solid object blocks or restrictsthe tailgate when automatically closing, the
boot lid automatically opens again slightly.
The automatic obstacle recognition with
reversing function is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attentiveness when open-
ing and closing the tailgate. G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 8 mm of the closing path
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area. Luggage compartment
