Note
One of the car's keys must be within range behind the car for unlocking to work.
The tailgate is held closed by an electrical lock.
To open:
Press gently on the rubberised pressure plate beneath the tailgate handle.
The lock is released.
Lift by the outside handle in order to open the tailgate.
Important
- Handle the rubber panel with care to avoid damage to its electrical contact. Minimal force is required for activation.
- Do not exert the lifting force on the rubber panel when opening – lift the handle.
It is also possible to unlock the tailgate with a foot movement* under the rear bumper, see separate section.
Warning
Do not drive with an open tailgate! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car through the cargo area.
