Opel Automobile Owner's Manual page 27

The turn signals will flash and a chime
will sound to indicate the new
programmed setting.
When turning the adjuster wheel in
the driver's door to intermediate mode
☯, the power tailgate will stop opening
at the newly set position.
There is a minimum open angle that
the system will hold the tailgate open.
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that angle.
Safety function
If the power tailgate encounters an
obstacle during opening or closing,
the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed to open or
close slightly. Multiple obstacles in
one power cycle will deactivate the
function. In this case close or open
the tailgate manually.
Power tailgate has pinch sensors on
the side edges. If the sensors detect
obstacles between tailgate and
chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
Safety function is indicated as
a message in the Driver Information
Center and by warning chimes.
Remove all obstacles for resuming
normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with
a factory-fitted towing equipment, the
operation of the power tailgate is
automatically deactivated, when
towing a trailer.
General hints for operating
tailgate
9 Warning
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which can not be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Keys, doors and windows
Caution
Before opening the tailgate check
overhead obstructions, such as
a garage door, to avoid damage of
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Note
Power tailgate: if the support struts
of the open tailgate loose pressure,
the taillights will flash and a chime
will sound. The tailgate will remain
open for a while and then close
slowly. Seek the assistance of
a workshop.
Note
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low battery
condition. In this case the tailgate
can be operated manually.
Note
Having the power tailgate disabled
and all doors unlocked, the tailgate
can be manually operated. In this
case the manual efforts will be
higher than a non power tailgate.
