Introduction - TAILGATE/

The tailgate is manufactured using conventional pressing processes and includes large window bonded flush with the tailgate. The edges that overlap the structure are screen-printed in black.

The window glass contains a demisting circuit, a hole in the lower central area that houses the rear wiper blade. A rear wiper reset reference mark is screen-printed on the left part. The third brake light houses the rear washer spray. The tailgate interior lining cover contains an opening with the emergency opening cable.

The tail-gate can be opened:

• by operating a button in the number plate mount
• by remote control, via a button on the remote control unit
• emergency cable

The tail-gate is held in position by two gas struts.
