Closing the tailgate
WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured items in the vehicle

If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip over or be thrown around and thereby hit vehicle occupants.

There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.

Always stow objects in such a way that they cannot be thrown around.
Before the journey, secure objects, luggage or loads against slipping or tipping over.

Observe the notes on loading the vehicle.

To close the tailgate, the following options are available:

Pull the tailgate downwards slightly. Release it as soon as it begins to close.
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped during automatic closing of the tailgate

Parts of the body could become trapped during automatic closing of the tailgate. Moreover, people, e.g. children, may be standing in the closing area or may enter the closing area during the closing process.

Make sure that nobody is in the vicinity of the closing area during the closing process.
Use one of the following options to stop the closing process:
  • press the button on the key.

  • press or pull the remote operating switch on the driver's door.

  • press the closing or locking button on the tailgate.

  • Pull the tailgate handle.

Automatic reversing function for the tailgate

The tailgate is equipped with automatic obstruction detection with reversing function. If a solid object blocks or restricts the tailgate during automatic closing, the tailgate will automatically open again slightly. Automatic obstruction detection with reversing function is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attentiveness when you are closing the tailgate.

During the closing process, make sure that no body parts are in the closing area.
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped despite reversing function
The reversing function does not react:
  • to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fingers.

  • over the last 8 mm of the closing path.

In these situations in particular, the reversing function cannot prevent someone being trapped.

When closing, make sure that no body parts are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
  • press the button on the key, or

  • press or pull the remote operating switch on the driver's door, or

  • press the closing or locking button on the tailgate, or

  • Pull the tailgate handle.
