Mercedes-Benz E-Wagon 2015 - Manual (Page 97)

(Example: Sedan)
R Always ensure that you only make the kick-
ing movement within the detection range of
sensors :.
R Stand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
R Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Oth-
erwise, the sensors may not function cor-
rectly.
R HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
R If a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. For this
reason, the trunk lid/tailgate could open or
close unintentionally, e.g. if you:
- 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 situa-
tions similar to these. You can thus avoid
unintentionally opening or closing the trunk
lid/tailgate.
R Dirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
R
Using the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a
prosthetic leg may restrict functionality.
