Locking and unlocking
̈
Pull remote trunk lid switch 2 until
trunk begins to open.
The trunk lid opens. The indicator
lamp 1 comes on and remains lit until
the trunk is closed.
The trunk can also be opened using the
SmartKey (
୴
page 90) or from its inside in
an emergency, see “Trunk lid emergency
release” (
୴
page 103).
Limiting opening height of trunk lid
The trunk lid opening height can be limited
when transporting goods on a roof rack
(e.g. presence of an MB sport luggage con-
tainer*). When activated, the trunk lid
opens to approximately the height of the
roof edge.
You can activate the limiting opening
height of trunk lid using the control system
(
୴
page 153).
Closing from the inside
̈
Press remote trunk lid switch 2
(
୴
page 98) until the indicator lamp 1
goes out and trunk lid is closed.
To interrupt the closing procedure:
̈
Release remote trunk lid switch 2.
If the trunk lid comes into contact with an
object while closing (e.g. luggage that has
been piled too high) in the upper motion
sequence, the closing procedure is
stopped and the trunk reopens slightly.
!
The trunk lid swings open upwards au-
tomatically. Always make sure that
there is sufficient overhead clearance.
To stop the opening procedure, press
or pull the remote trunk lid switch.
i
If the trunk lid does not open, it is still
locked separately (if applicable)
(
୴
page 104).
If the vehicle was previously centrally
locked, the trunk lid will lock automati-
cally when closed (
୴
page 98). The
turn signal will flash three times to con-
firm locking.
Warning!
G
Maintain sight of trunk area while operating
the door mounted switch. Monitor the clos-
ing procedure carefully to ensure that no
one is in danger of being injured.
To interrupt the closing procedure, release
the door mounted remote trunk lid switch.
Even with the SmartKey removed from the
starter switch or the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO* removed from the vehicle,
the remote trunk lid switch can be operated.
Therefore, do not leave children unattended
in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equip-
ment may cause an accident and/or serious
personal injury.
