Detection of obstacles during closing<br />
Warning!<br />
Danger of crushing.<br />
f Despite the presence of this detection system,<br />
you are still responsible for keeping yourself<br />
and others entirely out of the way of the door<br />
as it is closing.<br />
The closing operation is interrupted if closing<br />
of the tailgate is blocked by an obstacle.<br />
A warning signal sounds and the tailgate opens<br />
again.<br />
When the obstacle has been removed, the tailgate<br />
can be closed by pressing the button in the<br />
tailgate trim panel.<br />
Automatic stop in the event of unintentional<br />
tailgate movement<br />
If the tailgate is moved too abruptly or lowers<br />
unaided immediately after opening, e.g. due to<br />
the weight of snow, an electrical mechanism<br />
brakes the tailgate and a series of brief warning<br />
signals sounds until the tailgate stops moving.<br />
f Bring the tailgate to rest for approx. 1 second.<br />
The braking function is deactivated.<br />
30 Opening and Locking<br />
Adjusting the opening height of the tailgate<br />
The opening height of the tailgate can be<br />
individually adjusted so that the tailgate does not<br />
collide with the garage ceiling, for example.<br />
On vehicles with level control, the vehicle height<br />
changes according to the level control setting.<br />
f Always adjust the opening height with the<br />
vehicle at the highest level setting so that the<br />
tailgate cannot accidentally collide with the<br />
garage ceiling, for example.<br />
Caution!<br />
Risk of damage to the tailgate. If the luggage<br />
compartment cover is not attached to the<br />
tailgate, the tailgate continues to move<br />
slowly upwards beyond the automatic stop.<br />
f Only use the powerlift tailgate with the luggage<br />
compartment cover attached.<br />
1. Stand behind the vehicle and open the tailgate.<br />
2. Press button on the key to stop the<br />
automatic opening operation at around 2/3<br />
of the opening height.<br />
3. Now move the tailgate up by hand until the<br />
desired opening height is reached. Make sure<br />
that there is a sufficient minimum clearance<br />
from any obstacle.<br />
4. Press the button A in the trim panel on the<br />
tailgate for approximately 3 seconds.<br />
An acknowledgement signal sounds.<br />
The opening height of the tailgate has now<br />
been programmed.<br />
The tailgate can now be closed by briefly<br />
pressing the button.<br />
This setting cannot be deleted. If a different<br />
setting is required, repeat steps 1 to 4.<br />
Malfunctions of the tailgate drive<br />
The automatic function is not active if the battery<br />
voltage is too low.<br />
If a button is pressed, the tailgate lock is unlocked<br />
and three brief warning signals sound. The tailgate<br />
can now be opened by hand.<br />
f Charge the vehicle battery.<br />
