Mercedes-Benz GLC : Cargo compartment / Opening the tailgate
DANGER Risk of exhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the tailgate
is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion.
Always switch off the
engine before
opening the tailgate.
Never drive with the
tailgate open.
NOTE Damage to the tailgate caused by
obstacles above the vehicle
The tailgate swings rearwards and upwards
when it is opened.
Make sure that there is
sufficient space
behind and above the tailgate.
Pull the tailgate handle.
Vehicles with HANDS-FREE
ACCESS: Make
a kicking movement with your foot below the
bumper.
Vehicles with an EASY-PACK tailgate

Pull remote operating switch
for the tailgate.
Press and hold the
button on the SmartKey.
If the tailgate is unlocked, pull
the tailgate
handle and release it again immediately.
If the tailgate is stopped in an
intermediate
position, pull it upwards. Release it as soon
as it begins to open.
If an obstacle obstructs the tailgate during the
automatic opening process, blockage detection
will stop the tailgate. The automatic blockage
detection function is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attentiveness.
WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured
items in the vehicle
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured sufficiently, they could slip,
tip over or be thrown around and thereby hit
vehicle occupants...
