Opening
 After unlocking the vehicle using the remote control or the key, press the
opening control and raise the boot lid.
Closing
 Lower the boot lid by pressing on the middle of its finisher. If the boot is not closed correctly:
-
when the engine is running , this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied
by a message on the multifunction
screen for a few seconds,
- when the vehicle is moving (speed above 6 mph (10 km/h)), this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the multifunction screen for a
few seconds.
It is strongly recommended not to
lower the boot lid by pressing on
either end. If the boot is not fully closed,
opening the roof in zone
B is not
possible.
Check that the boot is fully closed.
