Trunk lid/tailgate reversing feature
The trunk lid/tailgate is equipped with an
automatic reversing feature. It reacts if a solid
object obstructs or restricts the trunk lid/
tailgate during the closing procedure. The
trunk lid/tailgate opens again automatically.
The automatic reversing feature is only an aid
and is not a substitute for your attentiveness
to the trunk lid/tailgate while it is closing.
G WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 1/3 in (8 mm) of the closing
movement
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R press the F button on the SmartKey, or
R press the remote operating switch on the
driver’s door, or
R press the closing or locking button on the
trunk lid/tailgate, or
R pull on the handle on the trunk lid/tailgate
