Closing the tailgate
To close tailgate, pull down on grip (1) and swing
tailgate closed.
The rear compartment lamp will be switched off by the
contact switch only if the tailgate is fully closed.
Important!
Only drive with the tailgate closed as otherwise exhaust
fumes may enter the vehicle interior.
Warning!
To prevent possible personal injury, always keep
hands and fingers away from the tailgate opening
when closing the tailgate. Be especially careful
when small children are around.
To prevent personal injury, never activate the
closing assist mechanism by tampering with the
tailgate latch.
In case the closing procedure causes potential
danger, the closing procedure can be immediately
halted by pulling the outside recessed handle.
