EASY-PACK liftgate (SA)
As an alternative to the manually opening liftgate, the
GLK-Class can also be equipped with an automatic lift-
gate as special equipment (EASY-PACK-SYSTEM). It is
driven electromechanically and can be opened and
closed without manual intervention. It is however still
possible to manually open and close a rear-end door
fitted with this convenience function.
The opening angle of the automatic liftgate can be
limited e.g. to prevent contact with a low garage door.
The angle can be limited in the upper half of the
opening range up to approx. 20 cm from the opening
limit. The opening and closing sequence can be
stopped in any position by operating the control a
second time.
The liftgate then remains in the current intermediate
position until the controls are actuated again. The
drive mechanism switches off as soon as the door
meets any firm resistance or if a gentle holding force
is applied to the door by hand. The automatic liftgate
can also be opened and closed manually.
Handles with an optimal ergonomic design and inte-
grated coat hooks are installed on the liftgate for
manual closing.
