The tailgate can only be held open if
a minimum height is exceeded
(minimum opening angle from 30°).
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that height.
Safety function
If the power tailgate encounters an
obstacle during opening or closing,
the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle
will deactivate the function. In this
case close or open the tailgate
manually.
The power tailgate has pinch sensors
on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and
chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
The safety function is indicated by a
warning chime.
Remove all obstacles before
resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory-
fitted towing equipment and a trailer
is electrically connected, the power
tailgate can only be opened with the
touchpad switch or closed with button
G in the open tailgate. Ensure that
there are no obstacles in the moving
area.
General hints for operating
tailgate
9 Warning
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which can not be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check
overhead obstructions, such as a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Note
Power tailgate: If the hydraulic lifters
of the open tailgate lose pressure,
the tail lights will flash and a chime
will sound. The tailgate will remain
open for a while and then close
slowly. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Note
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low battery
condition. In this case the tailgate
can be operated manually.
Note
With the power tailgate disabled and
all doors unlocked, the tailgate can
be manually operated. In this case,
manually closing the tailgate
requires significantly greater force.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
