- After closing the boot lid, always check that
the catch has engaged properly. The boot lid
could otherwise open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving - this could result in an
acci­

dent.
- Always make sure that no-one is in the boot
lid's area of movement (especially near the
hinges) when it is moving. Risk of severe in­
juries to fingers or hands!
- The boot lid must always be completely
closed when the vehicle is moving; other­
wise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into
the interior.
- If
a
luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is at­
tached to the boot lid, the boot lid may not
open completely or may move downwards
by itself due to the added weight. For this

reason,
make sure you support the boot lid

or
take the luggage off the carrier before
opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
© Note
- When towing a trailer* the automatic open
function can only be operated via the re­
lease catch on the boot lid.
- If the battery is low, the boot lid can still be
opened and closed manually; however, this
will require more effort. If
you
move the
boot lid slowly less effort will be required.
- When the vehicle is locked, you can unlock
the boot Lid separately by pressing the

button on the remote control key. The boot
lid will Lock automatically when you close it

again.
