Opening manually
In the event of a malfunction you can open the
tailgate manually. The tailgate lock is located
underneath the BMW emblem. All keys, refer to
page 18, fit the tailgate lock.
Turn the key all the way to the right: the tailgate
will open.
If you open the tailgate at the lock while
the alarm system is activated, the alarm
will be triggered. You should therefore unlock
the vehicle first.
If the alarm is accidentally triggered: deactivate
the alarm, refer to page 24.<
Closing
The handle recesses in the interior trim of the
tailgate make it easier to pull down.
Make sure that the closing path of the tail-
gate is clear, otherwise injuries may
result.<
