91Unlocking and locking
WARNING
● Always close the tailgate properly. Risk of accident or injury.
● The tailgate must not be opened when the reverse or rear fog lights
are lit. This may damage the tail lights
● Do not close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the
rear window. The glass could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the tailgate is locked after closing it. If not, it may open unex-
pectedly while driving.
● Never allow children to play in or around the vehicle. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on
the time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness. It could even have
fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other
doors when you are not using the vehicle.
● Closing the tailgate without observing and ensuring it is clear could
cause serious injury to you and to third parties. Make sure that no one is
in the path of the tailgate.
● Never drive with the tailgate open or half-closed, exhaust gases may
penetrate into the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the tailgate, do not leave the key inside. The vehicle
will not be opened if the key is left inside.
Emergency opening

does not operate (for example, if the battery is flat)
