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 thetouchpad switch or closed with G in
the open tailgate. Ensure that there are no obstacles in the moving area.
Overload
If the power tailgate is repeatedly
operated at short intervals, the
function is disabled for some time.
Move tailgate manually into end
position to reset the system.
General hints for operating
tailgate9 Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Note
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low vehicle battery
conditions. In this case, the tailgate
may not even by manually operable.
Note
With the power tailgate disabled and all doors unlocked, the tailgate can
only be operated manually. In this
event, manually closing the tailgate
requires significantly greater force.
Note
At low outside temperatures the
tailgate may not open fully by itself.
In this event, lift the tailgate manually
to its normal end position.
