Tailgate
The tailgate on the X5 is two sections that
open up and down. The upper section has a
fixed bonded rear glass that incorporates the
rear window wiper and motor assembly. Two
gas strut pistons are used on the upper sec-
tion for opening. An electric actuator is incor-
porated in the upper section with the micro
switch for operation located between the two
license plate lights. The actuator locks into
the lower tailgate section when closed.
A micro-switch positioned in the center console switch
panel is used to open the tail gate from inside the
vehicle.
Operation of the upper tail gate is con-
trolled from the GM which locks the
operation of the gate when the vehicle
speed is over 5 MPH. A dealer installed
class three trailer hitch is available as an
option with a towing capacity of 6000
pounds.
