Range Rover Evoque: Operating the tailgate

Ensure there is minimum space of 1.0M (39 in) above the rear of vehicle before operating the tailgate. Insufficient space may result in damage to the vehicle.

Do not operate the tailgate if a cycle rack is fitted to the tailgate. Remove any cycles and/or racks before operating the tailgate.

There are two types of tailgate, powered and manual.

Both types of tailgate can be released using:
- the appropriate button on the Smart Key,
- the internal release switch,

- the external release switch on the tailgate.

Note: The tailgate will not open if the vehicle is travelling at or above approximately 5km/h (3.1mph).

Note: When using the external release switch, all doors must be unlocked and the gear selector in Park (P) position.

Note: If the Smart Key is inadvertently left inside the luggage compartment and the vehicle is locked and the alarm set, an audible warning will sound and the tailgate will re-open after three seconds.
