behind and above the tailgate.
You have the following options for opening

#
your foot to kick below the bumper

tailgate.
Press and hold the p button on the key.

If the tailgate is unlocked, pull the tailgate
#
handle and release it again immediately.

soon as it starts to open.
The tailgate is equipped with an automatic
obstruction detection function. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the tailgate during automatic
opening, this process will be stopped. The auto‐
matic obstruction detection function is only an
aid. It is not a substitute for your attentiveness
when you are opening the tailgate.

tip over or be thrown around and thereby hit
vehicle occupants.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.
