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 espe­
cially 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 tam per­
ing with the door or trunk lid
latch.
