Emergency Release

The tailgate does not feature a lock cylinder so an emergency release mechanism is incor-
porated into the tail gate latch. It allows mechanical opening of the gate actuator in the
event of an electrical failure. The release is located along the lower edge of the rear apron
behind a small access cover. After removing the cover, the lever is pushed to the right to
mechanically release the tail gate.
EMERGENCY RELEASE
The rear apron of the E46 Sport Wagon is lowered for easier loading/unloading. A plastic
rubbing strip prevents the bumper from being scratched when cargo is being
loaded/unloaded.
