Locking and unlocking the tailgate



Lock

The tailgate can be locked together with the other lock motors using the key in the driver's door, the remote control or the lock button on the centre console. The tailgate is also locked automatically straight after it has been shut or when the car starts to move and reaches a speed of 4 km/h. If the tailgate is unlocked but not opened, the lock motor will lock it automatically after 30 seconds.

Unlock

The tailgate is unlocked with the switch on the driver's door or the tailgate button on the remote control. It can also be unlocked by turning the key in the lock cylinder in the tailgate. When the tailgate is unlocked by turning the key on cars for US/CA, the alarm will also be disarmed.

The tailgate can also be unlocked mechanically with the lock button by the inner handle but then the alarm will then not be disarmed if it was previously armed. If the TSL (Theft Security Lock) is active, the tailgate cannot be unlocked using the lock button by the inner handle.

The switch in the driver's door will not function when the car is locked from outside or if TSL (Theft Security Lock) is active as well when the vehicle speed exceeds 4 km/h



Opening the tailgate



The tailgate is opened with the outer handle or from inside with the inner handle. There is a child safety catch on the bottom of the tailgate. The inner handle is then disconnected and the tailgate can only be opened from outside.

DICE also uses the buss message to turn on the lighting in the tailgate.
