Automatic reversing function for the tailgate
The tailgate is equipped with automatic obstruc‐
tion detection with reversing function. If a solid

cally open again slightly. Automatic obstruction
detection with reversing function is only an aid.
It is not a substitute for your attentiveness when
you are closing the tailgate.
