    General hints for operatingtailgate

    9 Danger

    Do not drive with the tailgate openor ajar, e.g. when transportingbulky objects, since toxic exhaustgases, which cannot be seen orsmelled, could enter the vehicle.This can cause unconsciousnessand even death.

    Caution

    Before opening the tailgate, checkoverhead obstructions, e.g. agarage door, to avoid damage to

    the tailgate. Always check themoving area above and behind thetailgate.

    NoteThe installation of certain heavyaccessories onto the tailgate mayaffect its ability to remain open.NoteThe operation of the power tailgateis disabled under low vehicle batteryconditions. In this case, the tailgatemay not even by manually operable.NoteWith the power tailgate disabled andall doors unlocked, the tailgate canonly be operated manually. In thisevent, manually closing the tailgaterequires significantly greater force.NoteAt low outside temperatures thetailgate may not open fully by itself.In this event, lift the tailgate manuallyto its normal end position.

    Airbag deactivation 3 63.Airbag label 3 58.We recommend a child restraintsystem which is tailored specifically tothe vehicle. For further information,contact your workshop.When a child restraint system is beingused, pay attention to the followingusage and installation instructions aswell as to those supplied with the childrestraint system.

    Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.Child restraint systems can befastened with:● Three-point seat belt● ISOFIX brackets● Top-tether anchor

    Three-point seat beltChild restraint systems can befastened by using a three-point seatbelt. Depending on the size of theused child restraint systems, up tothree child restraint systems can beattached to the rear seats. Afterfastening the child restraint systemthe seat belt has to be tightened3 67.

    ISOFIX brackets

    Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIXchild restraint systems to the ISOFIXbrackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIXchild restraint system positions aremarked in the ISOFIX table 3 67.ISOFIX brackets are indicated by alabel on the backrest.An i-size child restraint system is anuniversal ISOFIX child restraintsystem according UN RegulationNo. 129.All i-size child restraint systems canbe used on any vehicle seat suitablefor i-size, i-size table 3 67.

    Selecting the right systemThe rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system.Children should travel facingrearwards in the vehicle as long aspossible. This makes sure that thechild's backbone, which is still veryweak, is under less strain in the eventof an accident.Suitable are restraint systems thatcomply with valid UN ECEregulations. Check local laws andregulations for mandatory use of childrestraint systems.The following child restraints arerecommended for the followingweight classes:

    Maxi Cosi Cabriofix for children up to13 kg for group 0, group 0+ and DuoPlus for children from 13 kg to 18 kgin group I.Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with thevehicle type.Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct, see followingtables.Allow children to enter and exit thevehicle only on the side facing awayfrom the traffic.When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.NoteDo not affix anything on the childrestraint systems and do not coverthem with any other materials.A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.
