ground clearance MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT S 2016 C190 Owner's Manual

Observe the following points:
RCarry your KEYLESS-GO key about your per-
son. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in the rear
detection range of the vehicle.
RWhen making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clearance
to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise
lose your balance e.g. on ice.
RAlways ensure that you only make the kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors :.
RStand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
RDo not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.
RUnlocking with KEYLESS-GO does not func-
tion when the engine is started.
RDirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
Using the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
RIf a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear detec-
tion range of KEYLESS-GO, the sensors could
be triggered. Therefore, the tailgate cannot be
unlocked unintentionally if, for example, you:
-sit on the edge of the cargo compartment.
-set something down or lift something up
behind the vehicle.
-polish the rear of the vehicle.
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about your
person in these situations or in situations sim-
ilar to these. This prevents the tailgate from
being unlocked unintentionally.

range :below the bumper with your foot.

XIf the tailgate does not unlock after sev-
eral attempts: wait at least ten seconds and
