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, the tailgate must
be opened and closed once manually to
reset the system.
Programming the tailgate opening
angle
The tailgate's maximum opening angle can
be programmed, which can be useful, for
example, if the tailgate has to be opened in a
garage with a low ceiling.
To do so:
•
Open the tailgate manually, hold it at the
desired maximum opening angle and
press the tailgate's closing button for at
least 3 seconds. When the tailgate is
released, programming is complete.
•
To remove this programming, open the
tailgate manually to a higher opening
angle.
Automatic closing
The power tailgate can be closed by pressing
the
button on the tailgate (see the
illustration) or by pressing it down.
NOTE
If the tailgate is pressed down e.g., by the
weight of snow or strong wind, it will close
automatically.
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.
Interrupting automatic opening/closing
Automatic opening or closing the tailgate can
be interrupted in four ways:
•
By pressing the
button on the
lighting panel.
•
By pressing the
button on the
remote key.
