CAUTION
Be sure that there is adequate space above
and behind the vehicle before opening 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 tailgate
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 for more than 60 seconds, the
automatic function will be deactivated to
avoid overloading the electrical system. The
automatic function can be used again after
approximately 10 minutes.
If the vehicle's battery has been discharged
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 exam-
ple, 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 tail-
gate manually to a higher opening angle.
Automatic closing
The power tailgate can be closed by pressing
the button on the tailgate (see the illus-
tration) 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.
