General hints for operating
tailgate
Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting bulky
objects, since toxic exhaust gases,
which cannot be seen or smelled, could
enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness and
even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check
overhead obstructions, e.g. a garage
door, to avoid damage to the tailgate.
Always check the moving area above
and behind the tailgate.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may affect
its ability to remain open.
Note
At low outside temperatures the tailgate
may not open fully by itself.
In this case lift the tailgate manually to its
normal end position.
