Limiting the opening angle of the

tailgate (Wagon)

Important safety guidelines

You can limit the opening angle of the
tailgate. This is possible in the top half of its
opening range, up to approximately
0.6 ft (20 cm) before the stop.

!

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.

the tailgate.

To stop the opening procedure at the

desired position: press the close button

(

handle on the outside of the tailgate again.

closing button on the tailgate until you hear
a short tone.

when opening.
