2018 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT COUPE ground clearance

kicking movement only within the detection
range of the sensors.
!If the SmartKey is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the uninten-
tional opening of the tailgate:
Rwhen using an automatic car wash
Rwhen using a power washer
Make sure that the SmartKey is at least 10 ft
(3 m) away from the vehicle.
General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO without carbon
package: you can unlock the tailgate without
using your hands. This is useful if you have your
hands full. To do this, make a kicking movement
under the rear bumper with your foot.
Observe the following points:
RCarry your KEYLESS-GO key about your per-
son. The SmartKey must be at the rear of the
vehicle in the detection range of KEYLESS-
GO.
RWhen making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise
lose your balance, for example on ice.
RAlways ensure that you only make the kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors :.
RStand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
RDo not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.
RUnlocking the tailgate via the sensor does not
function while the engine is being started.
RDirt caused by road salt or snow around sen-
sors :may restrict functionality.
Using the tailgate unlocking function via the
sensor with a prosthetic leg may restrict func- tionality.
RIf a KEYLESS-GO SmartKey is within the rear
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, the sensors
could be triggered. As a result, the tailgate
could be opened unintentionally under the
following conditions:
-if you set something down or lift something
behind the vehicle
-if you polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about your
person in these situations or in situations sim-
ilar to these. This prevents the tailgate from
being unlocked unintentionally.
Operation
XTo unlock: kick into sensor detection
range :below the bumper with your foot.
The tailgate opens slightly.
XTo open: lift the tailgate.
XIf the tailgate does not unlock after sev-
eral attempts: wait at least ten seconds and
then kick under the bumper once again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too
long, the tailgate does not unlock. Repeat the
leg movement more quickly if this occurs.
Unlocking from inside the vehicle
GWARNING
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
