Closing the tailgate from the outside
(vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*)
In vehicles with power tailgate* and
KEYLESS-GO*, you can close the tailgate
separately from the outside using the tail-
gate closing switch or the Š button on
the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO*.
1 Tailgate closing switch
̈ Make sure you have the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO* with you.
̈ Press tailgate closing switch 1 briefly.
The tailgate closes and an acoustic
warning sounds.
If the tailgate comes into contact with an
object while closing (e.g. luggage that has
been piled too high), the closing procedure
is stopped and the tailgate reopens.
Warning! G
Monitor the closing procedure carefully to
make sure no one is in danger of being in-
jured. To prevent possible personal injury,
always keep hands and fingers away from
the cargo compartment opening when clos-
ing the tailgate. Be especially careful when
small children are around. To stop the clos-
ing procedure, do one of the following:
ț Press tailgate closing switch 1.
ț Press the Š button on the SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO.
ț Press or pull the remote tailgate switch
(on the driver’s door).
Even with the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO*
removed from the vehicle, the tailgate
closing switch can be operated. Therefore,
do not leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may
cause an accident and/or serious personal
injury.
Warning! G
Only drive with the tailgate closed as,
among other dangers such as blocked
visibility, exhaust fumes may enter the vehi-
cle interior.

If the vehicle was previously centrally
locked, the tailgate will lock automatically after
closing it. The turn signals will flash three times
to confirm locking.
