Locking separately
Push the switch in the direction of arrow 1.
The trunk lid is locked and cannot be unlocked
using the central locking system.
If you give the remote control without the inte-
grated key to someone else while the glove
compartment is locked, the trunk lid cannot be
opened. This is an advantage when valet park-
ing, for example. Locking the glove compart-
ment, refer to page 111.
Unlocking separately
Push the switch in the direction of arrow 2.

Emergency release

Pull the lever in the cargo area. The trunk lid is

Closing
The handle recesses on the interior trim of the
trunk lid/tailgate make it easier to pull down.
Make sure that the closing path of the
trunk lid/tailgate is clear; otherwise, inju-
ries may result.<
