-Always ensure that no one is within range of
the rear lid when it is moving, in particular
close to the hinges and the upper and lower
edges - fingers or hands can be pinched.
- To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the veh icle, always keep
the rear lid closed while driving . Never
transport objects larger than those which fit
completely into the luggage area, because
then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended espe­ cially w ith the rea r lid left open . A chi ld
cou ld crawl into t he car thro ugh the luggage
compartmen t and pull the lid shut, becom­
ing trapped and unable to get out. To re ­
duce the risk of persona l injury, never let
children p lay in or around your veh icle. Al­
ways keep the rear lid as well as the vehicle
doors closed when not in use.
- If there is a l uggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be able
to open completely or an opened rear lid may close by itself because of the added
we ight. So the open rear lid must be sup­
ported or the weight must be removed from
the luggage rack first.
(O} Tips
- As soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer socket is completed on vehicles with
a factory installed tow ing hitch, or a t railer
hitch that was instal led later ac co rding to
factory specifications, the a utomat ic rear lid
funct ion can only be ope rated via the handle
in the rear lid.
- If the vehicle battery charge drops below a ce rtain level, you can still open or close the
rear lid manually, however, you will need to
apply more force to close it .
- If the rear lid on a locked vehicle is unlocked
with the middle button
,c:$ on the remote
key, the rear lid is automatically locked
again immediately after closing. This is ind i­
cated by the turn signals bli nking .
- The following applies to veh icles equipped
with the Convenience key* feature: if the re­ mote control key is left in the luggage com ­
partment, luggage compartment w ill auto-
Op enin g an d clos ing
