IMPORTANT
•
Minimal force is required to release the
rear hatch lock - just gently press the
rubberised panel.
•
Do not place the lift force on the rub-
ber panel when opening the rear hatch
- lift the handle. Using too much force
may damage the electrical contacts on
the rubber panel.
Unlocking with the remote control key
Using the remote control key (p. 159)
button the alarm for the tailgate can be dis-
armed* and the tailgate unlocked on its own.
The lock indicator (p. 161) on the instrument
panel stops flashing in order to show that not
all of the car is locked and the alarm's* level
and movement sensors and the sensors for
opening the tailgate are disconnected.
The doors remain locked and armed.
The tailgate can be opened in two different
ways using the remote control key:
One press
- The boot lid is unlocked, but
remains closed - press lightly on the rubber-
ised pressure plate under the outer handle
and lift the boot lid. If the tailgate is not
opened within 2 minutes then it is relocked
and the alarm is re-armed.
Two presses - The boot lid is unlocked and
the lock is disengaged at which the boot lid
opens about a centimetre - lift the outer han-
dle to open. Rain, cold, frost or snow could
however prevent the tailgate from disengag-
ing from the lock.
NOTE
•
When the boot lid/tailgate is unlocked
with 2 presses or from the car interior,
automatic relocking does not take
place because the boot lid/tailgate is
open - it must be closed manually.
•
After the boot lid/tailgate has been
closed it is unlocked and the alarm is
not armed - relock it and re-arm the
alarm with the remote control key's
lock button
.
