Automatic reversing function for the tailgate
The tailgate is equipped with automatic obstacle
detection with reversing function. If a solid
object blocks or restricts the tailgate when auto‐
matically closing, the tailgate automatically
opens again slightly. Automatic obstacle detec‐
tion with reversing function is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attentiveness when you
are closing the tailgate.
When closing, make sure that no body parts
#
are in the closing area.
& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped
despite the reversing function
The reversing function does not react:
To soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fin‐
R
gers.
Over the last Ó in (8 mm) of the closing
R
path.
In these situations in particular, the reversing
function cannot prevent someone being trap‐
ped.
When closing, make sure that no body
#
parts are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
Press the p button on the SmartKey,
R
or
Press or pull the remote operating switch

on the driver's door, or
Press the closing or locking button on the
R
tailgate, or
