Power tailgate – automatic opening/
closing
The power tailgate can be opened/closed
using a button on the lighting panel or on the
remote key.
Automatic opening
The power tailgate can be opened automati-
cally in the three ways:
•
By pressing and holding the
but-
ton on the lighting panel until the tailgate
begins to open.
•
By pressing and holding the
but-
ton on the remote key until the tailgate
begins to open.
•
By pressing the rubber-covered button
under the outer handle on the tailgate.
The taillights illuminate automatically when
the automatic open function is used.
CAUTION
Be sure that there is adequate space
above and behind the vehicle before open-
ing the tailgate automatically.
The vehicle should not be driven or moved
with the tailgate in the open position. How-
ever, if the vehicle is moved with the tail-
gate in the open position, the automatic
closing function will be inoperative until
one of the following occurs:
•
The tailgate is closed manually
•
The ignition is switched off and the key
is removed for approximately 10
minutes (the tailgate will function again
after restart).
NOTE
If the tailgate has been opened and closed
continuously too long, the automatic func-
tion will be deactivated to avoid overload-
ing the electrical system. The automatic
function can be used again after approxi-
mately 2 minutes.
If the vehicle's battery has been dis-
charged or disconnected, or if the tailgate
has been open for more than 24 hours, the
tailgate must be opened and closed once
manually to reset the system.
Automatic closing
The power tailgate can be closed by pressing
the
-button on the tailgate (see the
illustration) or by pressing it down.
WARNING
Be sure that no one is near the tailgate
when it is opened or closed automatically.
The tailgate should never be obstructed in
any way when it is operated.
