Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even

When opening and closing a


motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas

the tailgate using the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function (confirmed by lighting/
extinction of the green indicator lamp).
Repeatedly opening and closing the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating

and closing will not be possible.
Allow at least 10
minutes for the electric
motor to cool down before operating the
tailgate again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.
