Opening the taildoor:
- Press the button on the rear of the handle to release the latch.
- Pull to open the taildoor.
NOTES
The taildoor handle releases if all of the doors are unlocked and the gear selector is in the Park (P) position. With the gear selector in the Neutral (N) position, the taildoor releases only if all of the doors are unlocked. Also, the ignition must be in convenience mode or switched off. The taildoor handle does not operate the taildoor if the gear selector is in any other position. See CONVENIENCE MODE.
NOTES
The taildoor can be opened and held in any required position. Move the taildoor to the required position and hold for approximately one second. The taildoor’s mechanism helps to prevent movement of the taildoor. Increased force is required to move the taildoor from the held position or from the fully open position. The taildoor can also be released using the following methods:
- The taildoor button on the smart key. See SMART KEY OPERATION.
- The taildoor command on the activity key. See ACTIVITY KEY.
NOTES
The taildoor does not release if the vehicle is travelling at, or above, approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
- If the smart key remains inside the loadspace when the vehicle is locked and the alarm is set, a warning is given. The warning indicates a mislock and the taildoor unlatches after approximately 3 seconds.
- If the taildoor is pushed to a closed position, the vehicle searches for a valid smart key at the rear of the vehicle. If a valid smart key is not detected within 1.5 m of the rear of the vehicle, the taildoor re-opens and an audible mislock warning sounds. Additionally the taildoor re-opens with an audible mislock warning sound if any smart key remains inside the vehicle when the taildoor is closed.
- The smart key may not be detected if it is shielded by metal and/or devices with LCD screens. For example, a smartphone, a laptop or a games console.
- Make sure the taildoor is fully closed before leaving the vehicle unattended. Visible and audible warnings indicate if the vehicle is locked and the alarm armed. If there are no visible or audible warnings upon closing the taildoor, the vehicle may be unprotected.
90 COMMERCIAL VARIANT:
An interior release for the taildoor is located on the vehicle’s left side D-pillar.
DEPLOYABLE SIDE STEPS
The deployable side steps are full length steps that are stowed below the side sills and under the vehicle. When the deployable side step is activated it automatically deploys if any of the doors are opened on the appropriate side. If doors on both sides are opened, both side steps deploy.
The deployable side steps can be set via the touchscreen’s Side step menu. Select On or Off. See SYSTEM SETTINGS.
The vehicle remembers the set status and a change to the status can be made at any time. When set to On, the side steps are activated in auto mode.
NOTES
The deployable side steps do not deploy when the vehicle is travelling at more than 5 km/h (3 mph). If the side steps are already deployed, they stow automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph).
NOTES
The deployable side steps return to their previous position if an obstruction is encountered during operation. If this occurs, the touchscreen displays a warning. If a further obstruction is met in the reverse direction, the steps will stop mid state. Remove the obstruction before operating the side steps again.
After a side step has been deployed, automatic operation is activated under the following conditions:
- Stows 5 seconds after both doors on the side of the vehicle are closed;
- Stows immediately when both doors on the side are closed and a transmission drive gear is selected;
- Stows immediately when all doors are closed and vehicle is locked from outside using smartkey or keyless entry.
When the vehicle is unlocked from the outside, the side steps deploy if the deployable side steps menu status is set to On. Operation of the side steps on one or both sides of the vehicle is dependent on the following unlocking status:
- When the smart key is set to single-point entry, on the first press of the smart key, the side step deploys on only the driver’s side. A second press also deploys the passenger side step.
- When the smart key is set to multi-point entry, both side steps deploy.
- Keyless entry deploys both side steps.
When the smart key or keyless entry is used to unlock the vehicle, and subsequently no door is opened, the side steps automatically stow after 1 minute.
ROOF ACCESS:
The side steps can be deployed indefinitely to access the roof, cleaning or accessing the jacking points. On the Side steps menu, select Roof access. The electric parking brake must be on and the vehicle unlocked to activate Roof access. The side steps deploy and remain in their deployed position until Roof access is deselected. The deployed position deactivates automatically, and returns to the automatic setting, if the vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph), or if the vehicle’s doors are locked.
NOTES
Use Roof access mode to enable cleaning of the steps and the underside of the vehicle in a pull-through car wash, follow the steps above to activate Roof access mode. Once in Roof Access mode, release the electric parking brake. The vehicle can now move up to 5 kph (3 mph) without the side steps stowing.
OFF-ROAD OPERATION:
To prevent potential damage to side steps, the side steps do not deploy when the vehicle is in certain terrain response programs.
Enabling Off-road operation mode allows the deployable side steps to continue operating in otherwise restricted terrain response programs.
CAUTION
Use of Off-road operation mode can result in damage to the vehicle in unsuitable terrain. Make sure there are no obstructions in path of side steps before operating Off-road operation mode.
SMART KEY DEACTIVATION
Key deactivation is intended to secure keys that have been stored in the vehicle. A deactivated key will not start the vehicle. Keys become deactivated when left inside the vehicle when the alarm is armed. For example, if the vehicle is locked by another key, or if keyless locking arms the alarm. Keys become deactivated if left inside the vehicle when closing the tailgate, bootlid or taildoor while the alarm is armed.
To reactivate a key:
- Start the vehicle using another activated smart key or activity key, or
- Unlock the vehicle using the InControl Remote application.
