OPENING AND CLOSING THE
POWERED TAILGATE
Before operating the tailgate,
make sure that anyone in the
vicinity does not have any part of
their body in a position where it
could be trapped. Note that the
‘soft close’ action does not
incorporate object detection.
Death or serious injury could
occur, even with an object
detection system.
While the tailgate is open, the
locking latch is exposed. Do not
attempt to manually close the
latch, as it may also automatically
‘soft close’ and trap items or body
parts.
Make sure there is sufficient space
above and at the rear of the vehicle,
before operating the tailgate.
Insufficient opening space may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Do not operate the tailgate if a
cycle rack is fitted to the tailgate.
Remove any cycles and/or racks
before operating the tailgate.
1. Tailgate open/close: Press to open,
stop, reverse direction or close the
tailgate.
Note: The tailgate external release
operates when all of the doors are
unlocked and the gear selector is in
the Park (P) position. When the gear
selector is in the Neutral (N) position,
the external release operates only if
all of the doors are unlocked, and the
ignition is in Convenience mode or
switched off. It will not operate if the
gear selector is in any other position.
2. Tailgate close switch: Press to close/
stop the tailgate.
The tailgate can also be opened or closed
using the following methods:
