Operation
●
The rear lid must not be opened when the
reverse or rear fog lights are lit. This may
damage the tail lights.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it
down with your hand on the rear window.
The glass could smash. Risk of injury!
●
Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing
it. If not, it may open unexpectedly while
driving.
●
Closing the rear lid without observing
and ensuring it is clear could cause serious
injury to you and to third parties. Make sure
that no one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, exhaust gases may penetrate into
the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poi-
soning!
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended or al-
low children to play inside or next to it, es-
pecially if the rear lid is open. Children
could enter the luggage compartment,
close the rear lid and become trapped. A
locked vehicle can reach extremely high
and low temperatures, depending on the
time of year, thus causing serious injuries,
illness or even death.
CAUTION
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
sure that there is enough space to open or
close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a
garage.
Note
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that
the key has not been left inside the luggage
compartment.
Note
At outside temperatures of less than 0°C
(+32°F), the pressurised gas struts cannot
always automatically lift the rear lid. In this
case, open the rear lid manually.

The rear lid is open or not correctly shut.

Do not continue driving! Open the rear lid and
close it again.
Several warning and control lamps light up
for a few seconds when the ignition is switch-
ed on, signalling that the function is being
verified. They will switch off after a few sec-
onds.
The

warning lamp appears on the dash
panel if the rear lid is open or not properly
closed.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, a sym-
bol may be displayed on the dash panel
screen instead of the warning lamp. The indi-
cation is also visible when the ignition is
switched off. The indication disappears
around 15 seconds after the vehicle has been
locked.
WARNING
If the rear lid is not correctly closed, it
could open unexpectedly when driving and
cause serious injuries.
●
Always stop immediately and close the
rear lid.
●
Ensure that the rear lid has been locked
into place by the element on the lock carri-
er when you close it.
