Tailgate button on the inside.

[Habu]

I can open the electric tailgate easily via the tailgate button and the key fob but the button near the driver only opens and closes the tailgate when I slightly open the drivers door.🤨

I’ve tried every combo of engine running, ignition on and off, seatbelt on and off but it only releases when I open the drivers door.  Anyone else have similar behaviour?

cheers

You have to hold it down. it should open regardless of the  other door being open.

On my RX450h Doors have to be unlocked bedfore tailgate will operate fromn the button on the dash. Same if using the fob, you have to unlock the car first. This is stupidly frustrating. My wifes Honda CRV tailgate opens from the fob or dash button when car is locked

Thanks Chris.  That makes sense as when I've been driving the doors are still locked when I come to a stop and the boot won't open until I either unlock the doors or open them.  If I sit in the car without driving it the boot opens.  Yes, it's a little odd as my previous Kia would open the boot quite happily from the inside under any condition.

Turn the unlock in park function on and it's dead easy

Might set mine to that but it doesnt help when wanting to only open the boot remotely and have to unlock all doors first. Thats just annoying :-)

Guessing this could be a security feature, especially if yours has the 'kick to open' function. Anyone could open the hatch when you're stopped at lights etc..

Makes sense NemesisUK but I wait at lights with the car in Drive and Auto Hold on.
