It is important that only one touch-sensi-
tive surface is activated at a time. Gripping
the handle while touching the lock surface
risks giving double commands. This means
that the requested activity (locking/unlock-
ing) will not be executed, or will be execu-
ted with a delay.

Tailgate handle

The tailgate handle has a rubberised pressure
plate that is only used for unlocking.

Keyless locking and unlocking

Be aware that the system may be activated
in connection with car washing if the
remote control key is in range.
