Adjusting tailgate

Note
The vehicle must be standing on its wheels in order to adjust the tailgate.
♦
The flap lock is directly screwed onto the tailgate. It has no elongated holes and therefore it cannot be
♦
adjusted.
The adjusting buffers on the left and right are not used for the adjustment. They have the function to stabilise
♦
or dampen the bonnet.
The bonnet is correctly adjusted if in the closed state it has an overall even gap size, is not positioned too
♦
far outwards or inwards and the contours are aligned.
♦ The tailgate must latch in the flap lock without using increased force.
