BOOT
The luggage compartment unlocking is
electrically operated and is deactivated
when the car is in motion.
OPENING
When unlocked, the luggage
compartment can be opened from
outside the car by pressing the electric
logo fig. 32 until a click, which indicates
unlocking, is heard or by pressing the
button on the key with remote
control.
The direction indicators and internal light
will blink twice when the boot is opened:
the light will go out automatically when
the boot is closed. The light switches off
automatically after a few minutes if the
luggage compartment is left open.
Emergency opening from the inside
To carry out the emergency opening from
the inside of the car, remove the rear seat
head restraints, completely fold down
the rear seats (see paragraph “Extending
the luggage compartment”), then press
on lever 1 fig. 33.
CLOSING
Lower the tailgate, pressing near the lock
until you hear it click into place.
On the tailgate inner part a tab makes the
tailgate holding and closing easier.
IMPORTANT Before closing the luggage
compartment make sure that you have
the keys, since the luggage compartment
is automatically locked.
