Turning on and off the electric child safetyFunctionNecessary operations
To switch sys-
tem on:Press the button ››› Fig. 51 1 or 2.

● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle if the doors are to be
locked. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. They could be trapped in
the car in an emergency and will not be able
to get themselves to safety. Individuals
locked in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
atures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children. Rear lid
Introduction WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening and
closing of the rear lid can cause accidents
and serious injury.
● Open and close the rear lid only when no-
body is in the way.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. This
could break and cause injury. ●
Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing,
otherwise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with
the corresponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driv-
ing to avoid toxic gases entering the vehicle
interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a
load carrier installed. Likewise, the boot
hatch cannot be opened when a load is at-
tached to it, for example bicycles. An open
rear lid could close itself if there is an addi-
tional weight on it. If necessary, press down
on the rear lid and remove the load.
● Close and lock both the rear lid and all the
other doors when you are not using the vehi-
cle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the
vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a
locked and closed vehicle can be extremely
high or extremely low resulting in serious in-
juries and illness or even death, particularly
for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle. If the vehicle key or the
central locking button is used, they may be
locked in the vehicle. 66

Operation
WARNING
Unsuitable or careless unlocking and opening
of the rear lid could cause serious injuries.
● If there is a loaded luggage carrier on the
rear lid, it could be unlocked or open but not
recognised as such. An unlocked or open rear
lid could open unexpectedly while driving. Note
At outside temperatures of less than 0 °C
(+32 °F), the pressurised gas struts cannot
always automatically lift the rear lid. In this
case, open the rear lid manually. Closing the rear lid
Fig. 54
Rear lid open: hand grip Closing the rear lid
● Grab the handgrip inside the rear lid
››› Fig. 54 (arrow). ●
Pu sh the rear lid downwards until it locks
into place in the lock.
● Ensure that it is correctly closed by pulling
on it firmly.
Locking the rear lid
If you unlock the vehicle without opening any
doors or the rear lid, it will lock again auto-
matically after 30 seconds. This function pre-
vents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if
the unlocking button is pressed by mistake.
Locking is only possible when the rear lid is
correctly and fully closed.
● The rear lid is also locked by a central lock-
ing.
● If the vehicle rear lid is locked or unlocked
using the button, when it is closed once
more it will lock automatically.
● A closed but not locked rear lid will lock au-
tomatically at a speed above about 9 km/h
(7 mph). WARNING
Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of
the rear lid could cause serious injuries.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on the time of year,
thus causing serious injuries/illness and
even death.

Before closing the rear lid, make sure that the
key has not been left inside the luggage com-
partment. Opening the rear lid electronically

Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of
the rear lid could cause serious injuries.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low
temperatures, depending on the time of year,
resulting in serious injuries/illness or even
death. WARNING
It is possible that the rear lid does not open
completely or, if it is open, closes alone if a
large amount of snow has built up on it or if a
luggage rack is fitted. In this case, the rear lid
must be supported. CAUTION
● When using a trailer, ensure that there is
sufficient space to open and close the rear
lid.
● Before opening the rear lid, any kind of
equipment carrier should be removed, for ex-
ample a bicycle carrier. CAUTION
In case of repeated short-term use, the sys-
tem is turned off to avoid overheating. » 69
