Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid. Never drive with the trunk 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, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
!
The trunk lid swings upwards when opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance above the trunk lid.
The opening dimensions of the trunk lid can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(
page 364).
Y
You can limit the opening angle of the trunk lid in
the multimedia system; see the Digital Opera-
tor's Manual.
Do not leave the SmartKey in the trunk. You
could otherwise lock yourself out.
You should preferably place luggage or loads in
the trunk. Observe the loading guidelines
(
page 276).

Obstruction detection with reversing
feature for the trunk lid
Vehicles with trunk lid remote closing fea-
ture:
The trunk lid is equipped with automatic obsta-
cle detection with a reversing feature. If a solid
object blocks or restricts the trunk lid when
automatically opening, this procedure is stop-
ped. If a solid object blocks or restricts the trunk
lid when automatically closing, the trunk lid
opens again automatically. The automatic
obstacle detection with reversing feature is only
an aid. It is not a substitute for your attentive-
ness when opening and closing the trunk lid.
G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not respond:
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. fingers
R
over the last 1/3 in (8 mm) of the closing
R
movement
The reversing feature cannot prevent some-
one being trapped in these situations in par-
ticular. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped:
press the F button on the SmartKey, or
R
pull or press the remote operating switch
R
on the driver's door or
press the closing or locking button on the
R
trunk lid, or
pull on the trunk lid handle
R
Vehicles with HANDS-FREE ACCESS:
It is also possible to stop the closing process by
performing a kicking movement under the rear
bumper.
