WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured sufficiently, they could slip,
tip over or be flung around and thereby hit
vehicle occupants. There is a risk of injury,
particularly in the event of sudden braking
or a sudden change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
!
The tailgate swings upwards and to the
rear when opened. Therefore, make sure
that there is sufficient clearance above and
behind the tailgate.
The opening dimensions of the tailgate can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(Y page 339).
You should preferably place luggage or loads
in the cargo compartment. Observe the load-
ing guidelines (Y page 250).
Do not leave the SmartKey in the cargo com-
partment. You could otherwise lock yourself
out.
The tailgate can be:
R
opened and closed manually from outside
R
vehicles with EASY-PACK tailgate:
opened/closed automatically from the out-
side
R
vehicles with EASY-PACK tailgate:
opened/closed automatically from the
inside
R
vehicles with EASY-PACK tailgate and
with KEYLESS-GO or KEYLESS-GO start
function: closed with the remote operating
switch on the SmartKey
R
released with the emergency release from
the inside
Tailgate obstruction detection with
reversing feature
On vehicles with an EASY-PACK tailgate, the
tailgate is equipped with automatic obstacle
recognition with a reversing feature. If a solid
object blocks or restricts the tailgate when
automatically opening or closing, this proce-
dure is stopped. If the tailgate is stopped dur-
ing the closing process, the tailgate automati-
cally opens again slightly. The automatic
obstruction detection with reversing feature is
only an aid. It is not a substitute for your atten-
tiveness when opening and closing the tail-
gate.
G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not respond:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fingers
R
over the last 1/3 in (8 mm) of the closing
movement
The reversing feature cannot prevent some-
one from becoming trapped in these situa-
tions in particular. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R
press the F button on the SmartKey,
or
R
pull or press the remote operating switch
on the driver's door or
R
press the closing button/STOP button in
the tailgate or
R
pull the handle on the tailgate
Vehicles with HANDS-FREE ACCESS: it is
also possible to stop the closing process by
performing a kicking movement under the rear
bumper.
