Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the boot
lid is open when the engine is running, espe-
cially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a risk
of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the boot lid. Never drive with the boot lid
open.
G WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially
when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The boot lid swings upwards when
opened. Therefore, make sure that there is
sufficient clearance above the boot lid.
The opening dimensions on the boot lid can
be found in the "Vehicle data" section
(
Y
page 476).
i You can limit the opening angle of the
boot lid in COMAND Online or Audio 20
(see the separate operating instructions).
Do not leave the key in the boot. You could
otherwise lock yourself out.
Stow luggage or loads preferably in the boot.
Observe the loading guidelines (
Y
page 368).
Obstacle detection with boot lid
reversing feature
Vehicles with boot lid remote closing fea-
ture: the boot lid is equipped with automatic
obstacle detection with reversing function. If
a solid object blocks or restricts the boot lid
when automatically opening, this procedure
is stopped. If a solid object blocks or restricts
the boot lid when automatically closing, the
boot lid opens again automatically. The auto-
matic obstacle recognition with reversing
function is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attentiveness when opening and closing
the boot lid.
G WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R
over the last 8 mm of the closing path
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R
press the F button on the key, or
R
press the remote operating switch on the
driver's door, or
R
press the closing or locking button on the
boot lid, or
R
pull the boot lid handle
