ically. Always make sure that there is sufficient
overhead clearance.
iIf you cannot close the trunk with the re-
mote trunk opening/closing switch, lower the
trunk lid manually and close it with hands placed
flat on the trunk lid until it is engaged in its lock.
!To prevent inadvertent lockout, make sure
to have the SmartKey or SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO* with you before proceeding with
the next step. The next step will lock the vehicle.
iThis procedure does not arm the anti-theft
alarm system nor does it lock the fuel filler flap.
