Tailgate, Combo - Vauxhall Corsa Owner's Manual

Once the tailgate has been closed and the
key turned back to the horizontal or
vertical position, the tailgate is locked
again.
In the horizontal position the tailgate is
only unlocked the next time the central
locking system is unlocked.

Tailgate, Combo

Open right-hand door from outside by
raising door handle or from inside by
pressing handle.
Release left-hand door from inside by
pressing handle.
The doors are arrested at a 90° angle. To
close, push the doors beyond the slight
resistance.
Both doors can be opened up to 180°:
Close the door slightly from the 90°
position, disengage the stop lug from the
guide rail and open the door completely.
If the rear doors are opened up to 180°, the
rear exterior lights are no longer visible.
At night, therefore, do not open the rear
doors beyond the point at which they lock
into position.
When closing, make sure that the stop lug
properly engages in the guide rail.
Note
z The saloon has a handle on the inside for
locking the tailgate.
z Fitting of accessories on the tailgate will
increase its weight. If it becomes too
heavy, it will then not stay open.
z The registration plate can only be clearly
seen if the tailgate is closed. It is
therefore not permitted to drive with the
tailgate open.
Do not drive with the luggage
compartment open when transporting
bulky goods, since poisonous exhaust
fumes can penetrate the interior due to
air turbulence.
