By electrical handle (soft touch)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For some versions, the tailgate (when unlocked) can
only be opened from outside the vehicle using the
electrical handle A fig. 52 located under the handle
until a click is heard which indicates unlocking.
The tailgate can be opened at any time, if the doors
are unlocked. To open it, enable the handle, opening
one of the front doors or unlocking the doors
with the remote control or using the key without
remote control.
When the luggage compartment is opened, the
interior light switches on (for versions/markets,
where provided): the light switches off automatically
when the luggage compartment is closed. The light
switches off automatically after a few minutes if
the tailgate is left open.
