The handle recesses on the interior trim of the 
liftgate make it easier to pull down.
If pointed or sharp-edged objects could 
strike the rear window while driving, be 
sure to provide protection around all edges. 
Failure to do so could result in damage to the 
heating conductors of the rear window.

Adjusting opening height
You can adjust how far the liftgate is to open.
When adjusting the opening height, make 
sure that at least approx. 4 in/10 cm of 
clearance is available above the liftgate. Other-

the opened liftgate if, for example, the loading 
state changes.
