Notes:
The automatic closing process is interrupted if the
trunk lid is pushed against an object. The trunk lid will
reverse slightly and stop. In its final closing stage the
hydraulic power closing assist mechanism releases the
trunk lid which then drops into the lock by its own
weight. Now the trunk lid will stop but not reverse
slightly.
Investigate and correct the cause of interruption.
Now press trunk lid close button (2) again to close the
trunk lid.
In case of a malfunction the trunk lid can be opened and
closed manually.
To open, unlock trunk lid with the mechanical key and
open lid by hand, see page 53.
To close, lower trunk lid with hands placed flat on trunk
lid. Please remember to keep your fingers out of the
space between the lid and the vehicle.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO:
To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk lid
will open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO-card is
recognized in the area of the rear shelf or inside the
trunk.
Warning!
To prevent possible personal injury, always keep
hands and fingers away from the trunk opening
when closing the trunk lid. Be especially careful
when small children are around.
Always be sure persons who might get injured are
away from the trunk area when you operate the
trunk lid closing button located on the vehicle door.
To interrupt the hydraulic power closing assist
mechanism press trunk lid close button (2) inside
the trunk lid, push in trunk lid lock, or press
button
Š on the electronic main key.
