Power Closing Assist for Doors and
Trunk Lid
The doors and trunk lid close
automatically if:
• doors are pushed against the lock,
• trunk lid is lowered against the lock.
It is not necessary to slam doors or
trunk lid closed, a pneumatic power-
assisted mechanism will latch doors
and trunk lid quietly and automatically
once the lid or door has been brought to
a close. When the pneumatic power-
assisted mechanism has stopped, doors
and/or trunk can be reopened.
Note:
If the trunk lid does not close, refer to
Trunk Lid, Manual Closing in Index.
Warning!
To prevent possible personal injury,
always keep hands and fingers away
from the door or trunk opening
when closing a door or the trunk lid.
Be especially careful when small
children are around.
The pneumatic power closing assist
mechanism cannot be interrupted
once it has been engaged.
To prevent personal injury, never
activate the closing assist mechanism
by tampering with the door or trunk
lid latch.
