Trunk
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid. Never drive with the trunk lid
open.
GWARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
!The trunk lid swings upwards when opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance above the trunk lid.
You can limit the opening angle of the trunk lid in
the multimedia system; see the Digital Opera-
tor's Manual.
The opening dimensions of the trunk lid can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(
Ypage 335).
Do not leave the SmartKey in the trunk. You
could otherwise lock yourself out.
You should preferably place luggage or loads in
the trunk. Observe the loading guidelines
(
Ypage 253).
Obstruction detection with reversing
feature for the trunk lid
Vehicles with trunk lid remote closing fea-
ture:
The trunk lid is equipped with automatic
obstruction detection with a reversing feature. If
a solid object blocks or restricts the trunk lid
when automatically opening or closing, this pro-
cedure is stopped. If the trunk lid is stopped
during the closing procedure, it will open again
automatically. The automatic obstruction detec-
tion with reversing feature is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attentiveness when open-
ing and closing the trunk lid.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not respond:
Rto soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fingers
Rover the last 1/3 in (8 mm) of the closing
movement
The reversing feature cannot prevent some-
one from becoming trapped in these situa-
tions in particular. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped:
Rpress the 0054button on the SmartKey, or
Rpull or press the remote operating switch
on the driver's door or
Rpress the closing or locking button on the
trunk lid, or
Rpress the top of the star on the trunk lid

ing automatic closing of the trunk lid. In addi-
tion, people may be standing in the closing
area or may enter the closing area, e.g. chil-
dren, during the closing procedure. There is a
risk of injury.

RAlways ensure that you only make the kicking
movement within the detection range of sen-
sors0043.
RStand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
RDo not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Other-
wise, the sensors may not function correctly.
RHANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
RDirt caused by road salt around sensors 0043
may restrict functionality.
RUsing the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
RIf a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear detec-
tion range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-FREE
ACCESS could be triggered. The trunk lid
could thus be opened or closed unintention-
ally, for example, if you:
-sit on the edge of the trunk.
-set something down or lift something up
behind the vehicle.
-polish the rear of the vehicle.
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about your
person in these situations or in situations sim-
ilar to these. This will prevent unintentional
opening or closing of the trunk lid.

range 0043under the bumper with your foot.
A warning tone will sound while the trunk lid is
opening or closing.
XIf the trunk lid does not open or close after
several attempts: wait at least ten seconds
then move your leg under the bumper once
again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too
long, the trunk lid does not open or close. Repeat the leg movement more quickly if this
occurs.

have the following options:
RKick with your foot in sensor detection
range
0043under the bumper.
