Lifting the Tailgate
With the tailgate unlatched, lift it fully
upwards, the struts will assist with
lifting and will hold the tailgate in
position once fully raised.
WARNING: The ventilation grilles
may become hot, take care to
avoid burn injuries. When using
the rear luggage compartment,
beware of any hot surfaces
exposed in the engine bay.
Closing the Tailgate
Pull down the tailgate and press firmly
over the centre section of the spoiler
ensuring complete engagement of the
latch. Do not leave the keyfob in the
luggage compartment when closing
the tailgate.
Before closing the tailgate, ensure that
no persons or objects will be trapped.
Also ensure that are no obstructions
that would prevent the tailgate from
closing properly.
With the ignition is on, a warning will be
shown on the vehicle silhouette display
within the instrument panel screen if
the tailgate is open or not completely
closed.
Luggage Weight
For all models the maximum weight of
goods which may be carried in the rear
luggage compartment is 50 kg.
WARNING: Exceeding these limits
can overload the tyres and affect
the handling of the vehicle and
result in an accident.
N
NOTE: If necessary, protect and/
or secure luggage as required.
Allowing sharp edged or heavy
items to slide or roll around the
luggage compartment may cause
body damage which will not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
CAUTION: Do not leave the keyfob
in the luggage compartment when
closing the tailgate, if the rest of
the vehicle is locked and armed, as
closing the tailgate will then
completely lock the vehicle. The
other keyfob will be required to
unlock the vehicle.
