Power tailgate
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 can be operated
by:
● Pressing X twice on the
electronic key. To prevent
unintended opening of the
tailgate, X must be pressed
longer than during locking or unlocking.
● Handsfree operation with motion sensor below the rear bumper.
● The touchpad switch under the exterior tailgate moulding and
C in the open tailgate.
● The switch C on the inside of
the driver's door.
On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the tailgate can only be operated when the vehicle is
stationary and with selector lever in P.
The turn signal lights flash and a
chime sounds when the power
tailgate is operating.
Keys, doors and windows31The 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 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.
Notice
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Notice
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low vehicle battery
conditions. In this case, the tailgate
may not even be manually operable.
Notice
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.
Notice
At low outside temperatures the
tailgate may not open fully by itself.
In this event, lift the tailgate manually
to its normal end position.
