Opening and locking
The operation of the tailgate opening system is electric. It is activated by using the handle on the tailgate
Fig. 50 Boot lid: opening from the outside
Fig. 51 Closing the tailgate
Opening the tailgate
– Pull on the release lever and lift the tailgate ⇒ fig. 50. The keyhole should
now be in a vertical position ⇒ fig. 51
.
Closing the tailgate
– Grip the tailgate by the handle on the interior lining and close it, using a light movement.
When the keyhole ⇒ fig. 51 is in
a vertical position, the tailgate will open and lock automatically using the central
locking system. Also, the tailgate may be opened and locked using a key. When the
keyhole is horizontal ⇒ fig. 51, if
the tailgate is closed it remains locked and can only be opened again using the
main key. To open the tailgate the key must be turned all the way
⇒ fig. 51 in the direction of the
arrow. In this position the key may not be removed from the lock.
If the keyhole is in horizontal position, this implies that the tailgate is locked and can only be opened using the main key.
WARNING
• Always close the tailgate properly. Risk of accident or injury.
• Do not close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the window. The glass could shatter. Risk of injury!
• Ensure the tailgate is locked after closing. If not, it may open unexpectedly while driving.
• Never allow children to play in or around the vehicle. A locked vehicle can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on the time of year. This could cause serious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other doors when you are not using the vehicle.
• Never close the tailgate without observing and ensuring it is clear, to do otherwise could cause serious injury to you and others. Make sure that no one is in the path of the tailgate.
• Never drive with the tailgate open or half-closed, exhaust gasses may penetrate into the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
• If only the boot is opened then do not leave the key inside. The vehicle may not be opened if the key is left inside.
