Tailgate reversing function
On vehicles with tailgate remote closing feature,
the tailgate is equipped with automatic obstacle
recognition with a reversing feature. If a solid
object blocks or restricts the tailgate when auto-
matically opening or closing, this procedure is
stopped. If the tailgate is stopped during the
closing procedure, it will open again automati-
cally. The automatic obstacle detection with
reversing function is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attentiveness when opening and
closing the tailgate.
G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R
over the last 8 mm of the closing path
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.

F
button on the key or
