If you press one of the  butt
on s again, the
rear lid will move again in the original direc-
tion.
If the rear lid is met with resistance or an ob-
stacle during the automatic opening or clos-
ing, opening or closing will be interrupted
immediately. For the closing process, the rear
lid opens again slightly.
● Check why it has not been possible to open
or close the r
ear lid.
● Try to open or close the rear lid again.
● If necessary, the rear lid can be opened or
closed b
y hand using reasonable force.
Special feature for pulling a trailer

cally connected to a trailer ››› page 273, the
electric rear lid can only be opened or closed
with the buttons on the rear lid itself.
Acoustic warnings
Throughout the process of opening or closing
the rear lid, acoustic warnings can be heard.
Exception: when the rear lid is opened man-
ually using the handle or the Easy Open func-
tion with the movement of the foot or closed
using the button on the rear lid itself
››› Fig. 137. Modifying and memorising the opening an-
gle
If the s

pace behind or above the vehicle is
less than the travel area of the rear lid, you
can change the opening angle of the rear lid.
To memorise a new opening angle, the rear
lid must be open at least halfway.
