Video tutorial

Watch this video to see how to open the rear tailgate of the Ford Ecosport: it’s not straightforward, as there are no buttons or handles, and if you’re unaware of how to open this tailgate, you may find yourself in serious difficulty. First, it’s essential to know that it opens sideways, not from the bottom upwards.

If you look at the right rear light cluster, you’ll see a silver area with an arrow pointing downwards. You need to reach in there to discover a button underneath that allows you to open the tailgate from right to left.

Remember this detail when parking the vehicle in a line.
