Boot
Important safety notes
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.
!
Only close the boot once the roof is lowered
completely. Otherwise, you could damage the
roof.
The opening dimensions of the boot lid can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(
Y
page 327).
When the roof is open, you can use the loading
aid to raise the folded roof in the boot to make
loading easier (
Y
page 264). The boot separator
opens automatically.
You can unlock the boot lid when the vehicle is
stationary and the roof is fully opened or closed.
Do not leave the key in the boot. You could oth-
erwise lock yourself out.
The boot lid can be:
R
opened and closed from outside
R
opened and closed automatically from out-
side (vehicles with boot lid remote closing
feature)
R
opened and closed automatically from inside
(vehicles with boot lid remote closing feature)
R
opened, closed or stopped during operation
without the use of your hands (vehicles with
KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS)
R
locked separately
R
unlocked with the emergency key element
Stow luggage or loads preferably in the boot.
Boot lid reversing function
The boot lid is equipped with an automatic
reversing function. It reacts if a solid object
obstructs or restricts the boot lid during the
closing procedure. The boot lid opens again
automatically. The automatic reversing function
is only an aid and is not a substitute for your
attentiveness to the boot lid while it is closing.
G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fingers
R
over the last 8 mm of the closing path
The reversing feature cannot prevent some-
one being trapped in these situations in par-
ticular. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
