9 Warning
Take care when operating the
power tailgate. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
Keep a close watch on the
movable tailgate when operating.
Ensure that nothing becomes
trapped during operating and no
one is standing within the moving
area.
The power tailgate is operated by:
■ x on the radio remote control.
■ The switch G in the door panel of
the driver's door.
■ The touchpad switch and G in
the tailgate.
On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the tailgate can only be operated when the vehicle is
stationary and automatic
transmission in P.

The tailgate can only be held open ifa minimum height is exceeded
(minimum opening angle from 30°).
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that height.

the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle
will deactivate the function. In this

resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory-
fitted towing equipment and a trailer

tailgate can only be opened with the
touchpad switch or closed with G in
the open tailgate. Ensure that there
are no obstacles in the moving area.

garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
