If a KEYLESS-GO key is in the KEYLESS-GO
detection range to the rear of the vehicle,
HANDS-FREE ACCESS could be triggered.
The tailgate could thus be opened or closed
unintentionally, for example, when you:

fold the ball coupling in or out
-
couple or uncouple a trailer
-
fit or remove a rear-mounted bicycle rack
-
load/unload bicycles on/from a rear-
mounted bicycle rack
-
set down or lift up an object behind the
vehicle
-
polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key with you in
such situations. This will prevent the uninten-
tional opening/closing of the tailgate.
