Entering the vehicle

OPENING AND CLOSING THE

TAILGATE

While the tailgate is open, the locking

latch is exposed. Do not attempt to

manually close the latch as it may

also automatically ‘soft close’ and

trap items or body parts.

Make sure there is a minimum space of

1 m (3 ft) above and at the rear of the

vehicle before operating the tailgate.

Insufficient opening space may result in

damage to the vehicle.

Do not operate the tailgate if a cycle

rack is fitted to the tailgate. Remove any

cycles and/or racks before operating

the tailgate.

1. Tailgate release: Lift the tailgate to open.

Note: The tailgate external release switch

will operate if all doors are unlocked and

the automatic transmission gear selector is

in the Park (P) position. If the gear selector

is in the Neutral (N) position, the switch

will only operate if all of the doors are

unlocked, and the ignition is in

Convenience mode or switched off. The

switch will not operate if the gear selector

is in any other position.

The tailgate can also be released using the

following methods:

 The interior tailgate release button. See

298, DRIVER CONTROLS.

 The Smart key tailgate release button. See

5, UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE.

Note: The tailgate will not open if the vehicle is

travelling at or above approximately 5 km/h (3

mph).
