Emergency tailgate safety release
The tailgate can be opened by doing as follows:
-
Insert a long, flat object, such as a key into the opening at the bottom of the tailgate.
-
Slide the latch in the direction of the arrow (1) to unlock the tailgate.
-
Push the tailgate to open.
-
For emergencies, be fully aware of the location of the emergency tailgate safety release lever in the vehicle and how to open the tailgate if you are accidentally locked in the luggage compartment.
-
No one should be allowed to occupy the cargo area of the vehicle at any time. The cargo area is a very dangerous location in the event of a crash.
-
Use the release lever for emergencies only. Use with extreme caution, especially whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Do not grasp the part supporting the tailgate (gas lifter), as this may cause serious injury.
