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 of the tailgate can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(Y page 488).
You can limit the opening angle of the tailgate
(Y page 108).
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 390). 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 restricts the tailgate when automatically closing, the
tailgate 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. 104
