Trunk / Liftgate: Adjustments

Rear Lid, Adjusting

• The vehicle must be on the ground when adjusting the rear lid.

• Lid lock - 3 - is bolted directly to the rear lid - 1 -. The hood latch does not have any elongated holes and therefore cannot be adjusted.

• The left and right buffers - 2 - are not for adjusting. They stabilize the hood - 1 -.

• The hood is properly adjusted when there is an overall even gap dimension when closed. It is not too far inward or outward and contours align. The contours line up.

• Rear lid must engage in striker pin without great force.

- Loosen the left and right bolts - 4 - and adjust the rear lid - 1 - in the oversized holes on the hinge - arrows a - and - arrows b -.
