Note
Adjusting opening height should be
programmed at ground level.
A chime sound indicates the new

flash if the tailgate is below an
opening angel of 30°.
When turning the adjuster wheel in
the driver's door to intermediate mode 3/4 , the power tailgate will stop
opening at the newly set position.
The tailgate can only be held open if a minimum height is exceeded
(minimum opening angle from 30°).
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that height.
Safety function
If the power tailgate encounters an
obstacle during opening or closing,
the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle
will deactivate the function. In this
case, close or open the tailgate
manually.The power tailgate has pinch sensors
on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
The safety function is indicated by a
warning chime.
Remove all obstacles before
resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory- fitted towing equipment and a trailer
is electrically connected, the power
tailgate can only be opened with the
touchpad switch or closed with button
G in the open tailgate. Ensure that
there are no obstacles in the moving
area.
