Limiting the opening angle of the
tailgate
Important safety guidelines
You can limit the opening angle of the
tailgate. This is possible in the top half of its
opening range, up to approximately
0.6 ft (20 cm) before the stop.
Limiting the opening angle can be useful if
there is not sufficient clearance above the
open tailgate, for example.
!
Make sure there is sufficient clearance to
open the tailgate fully when setting the
opening angle. The tailgate could otherwise
be damaged. Ideally, set the opening angle
outside.
