Keyless unlocking of the tailgate*
With keyless locking and unlocking, it is suffi-
cient to touch the touch-sensitive surface on the
tailgate handle to unlock the tailgate.
NOTE
One of the car's remote control keys must be
within range behind the car for unlocking to
work.
The tailgate is held closed by an electrical lock.
To open:
1. Press gently on the rubberised pressure
plate beneath the tailgate handle.
> The lock is released.
2. Lift by the outside handle in order to open
the tailgate.
IMPORTANT
Minimal force is required to release the
•
rear hatch lock - just gently press the rub-
berised panel.
Do not place the lift force on the rubber
•
panel when opening the rear hatch - lift
the handle. Using too much force may
damage the electrical contacts on the rub-
ber panel.
It is also possible to unlock the tailgate hands-
free with a foot movement under the rear
bumper, see separate section.
WARNING
Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic
exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
