To release the lock, use the metal insert
of the ignition key A.
Tailgate opening is eased by the action
of the side gas shock absorbers.
Opening the tailgate, for some versions,
the boot light turns on: the light
automatically turns off after you close
the tailgate.
The light remains on for about 15
minutes after rotating the key to
STOP: if, during this period, a door or
the tailgate is opened, the 15 minutes
timing is reset.

Do not travel with the tail-gate
open: exhaust gas could enter the
passenger compartment.
WARNING
If you travel in areas with
few filling stations and you
want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, respect applicable laws, using
only an homologated, suitably
secured tank. However, the risks in
case of collision increase.
Take care not to knock objects on
the roof rack when opening the
tailgate.
