Limiting the opening angle of the tailgate

General notes
! 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.

You can limit the opening angle of the tailgate.
This could be useful, for example, if
there is insufficient space above the tailgate.
It is possible to limit the tailgate in the top half
of its opening range.

To open the tailgate fully, pull the handle on
the outside of the tailgate again after it has
stopped automatically. This does not delete
the stored position.

Activating
X To open the tailgate: pull the handle on
the tailgate
.
X To stop the opening process at the
desired position: Rpress the closing button in the tailgate, or
Rpull the handle on the outside of the tailgate
again, or Rpress the tailgate button on the key.

X To store the position: press and hold the
closing button in the tailgate until two short
tones sound.

The opening angle limiter is activated. The
tailgate will now stop in the stored position
when opening.

Deactivating
X Press and hold the closing button in the
tailgate until you hear a short tone.
