Precautions in use
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding an automatic opening of
the tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the
tailgate and prevent its opening: wait
until the ice melts with the heating of
the passenger compartment.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, don't forget to
lock your vehicle to avoid the risk of
unexpected opening.
Repeated opening and closing of the
tailgate can cause overheating of its
electric motor, after which opening and
closing will not be possible.
Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool
down before operating the tailgate
again.
Tailgate release
System allowing the mechanical unlocking
of the boot in the event of a battery or central
locking system malfunction.
Unlocking
F Fold back the rear seats to gain access to
the lock from inside the boot.
F Insert a small screwdriver into hole A of the
lock to unlock the tailgate.
F Move the latch to the left.
Locking after closing
If the fault persists after closing again, the boot
will remain locked.
