If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a
few seconds
before trying again.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if
there is rain or snow.
