* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.271 Introduction
The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is
determined by factors such as the number of
passengers, the amount of cargo, the weight
of any accessories that may be installed, etc.
To increase loading space, the rear seat back-
rests can be folded down, see page 87.
When loading the cargo area, keep the follow-
ing in mind:
•Load objects in the cargo area against the
backrest whenever possible.
•Unstable loads can be secured to the load
anchoring eyelets with straps or web lash-
ings to help keep them from shifting.
•Stop the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading or unloading long
objects. The gear selector can be knocked
out of position by long loads, which could
set the vehicle in motion.
WARNING
•Stop the engine, put the gear selector in
P, and apply the parking brake when
loading or unloading long objects.
•The vehicle's driving characteristics
may change depending on the weight
and distribution of the load.
•A 44-pound (20 kg) object produces a
force of 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg) in a
head-on collision at 30 mph (50 km/h).
•The cargo area and rear seat should not
be loaded to a level higher than 2 in.
(5 cm) below the upper edge of the rear
side windows. Objects placed higher
than this level could impede the func-
tion of the Inflatable Curtain.
Power tailgate*
G031965

Automatic openingThe power tailgate can be opened automati-
cally in the three ways:
•By pressing and holding the but-
ton on the lighting panel until the tailgate
begins to open.
•By pressing and holding the button
on the remote key until the tailgate begins
to open.
•By pressing the rubber-covered button
under the outer handle on the tailgate.

automatic open function is used.

CAUTION
Be sure that there is adequate space above
and behind the vehicle before opening the
tailgate automatically.
The vehicle should not be driven or moved
with the tailgate in the open position. How-
ever, if the vehicle is moved with the tailgate
in the open position, the automatic closing
function will be inoperative until one of the
following occurs:
•The tailgate is closed manually
•The ignition is switched off and the key
is removed for approximately 10
minutes (the tailgate will function again
after restart).
NOTE
If the tailgate has been opened and closed
continuously for more than 60 seconds, the
automatic function will be deactivated to
avoid overloading the electrical system. The
automatic function can be used again after
approximately 10 minutes.
If the vehicle's battery has been discharged
or disconnected, the tailgate must be
opened and closed once manually to reset
the system.
Automatic closingThe power tailgate can be closed by pressing
the
button on the tailgate (see the illus-
tration) or by pressing it down.
NOTE
If the tailgate is pressed down e.g., by the
weight of snow or strong wind, it will close
automatically.
WARNING
Be sure that no one is near the tailgate when
it is opened or closed automatically. The
tailgate should never be obstructed in any
way when it is operated.
Interrupting automatic opening/closingAutomatic opening or closing the tailgate can
be interrupted in four ways:
•By pressing the button on the
lighting panel.
•By pressing the button on the
remote key.
•By pressing the button on the lower edge
of the tailgate.
•By pressing the rubber-covered button
under the outer handle on the tailgate.If one of these actions is taken, the tailgate will
stop and reopen.
Pinch protectionIf the tailgate is obstructed while it is being
operated, the pinch protection function is acti-
vated.
•If the tailgate is being opened, the electri-
cal function will be switched off and the
tailgate will be released from the electrical
system.
•If the tailgate is being closed, it will stop
and reopen.
Operating the tailgate manuallyThe power tailgate can be disconnected from
the vehicle’s electrical system by quickly pull-
ing the outer handle twice. The tailgate can
then be opened/closed manually.
Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests can be folded down for
additional loading space, see page 88.
