Is there some way to disable the tailgate opening by gesture?

No I have not found a way yet but I think there may be one in the settings which I will look at later.

I've done that too in past jimbg Thumbs Up

When I had the DS I came out twice to find tailgate open and hit wall and another owner came back from a walk in remote spot to find his tailgate open - the only explanation is button pressed in pocket which I cured by removing key from pocket in house then keyfob gaurd

The Mitsubishi fob has to be pressed twice to open tailgate which is good although I thought it was faulty at first until I read handbook - you can also disable it with button on dash Very Happy

Off topic, but does the D5 tailgate open higher than the D4? If so, this maybe an issue with low headroom garages. And how do you adjust tailgate maximum opening height?

On my RRS you could press button to stop before it hit ceiling or set a restricted height for regular use

I thought there was a way to adjust the default height of the tailgate.
