Manual operation
Manually opening and closing the lid is only possible in exceptional cases, and
must be completed slowly and without sudden movements as close to the centre
of the lid as possible.
Handling the sides of the lid can damage the electric lid.
WARNING
Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
■
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even it
was locked – risk of accident!
Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases may
■
get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
CAUTION
The movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an abrupt and quick force
■
against the lid.
Do not try to close the lid manually during the electrical closing process. Dam-
■
age can occur to the system of the electric boot lid.
If the lid is closed manually, it must be ensured that when moving the lid into
■
the lock, pressure is applied to the centre edge of the lid above the ŠKODA logo.
CAUTION
Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the opening
■
or closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the roof rack
or on the trailer, etc.) – risk of causing damage to the lid!
Ensure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened lid (e.g. dis-
■
tance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, it may happen that the clearance
above the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load
(e.g. after unloading) – risk of causing damage to the lid.
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
■
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. Remove the load on the lid to re-
enable the electrical operation.
If the lid closes automatically (e.g. under load of snow), you will hear an inter-
■
mittent beep.
Note
Switch off the engine in the event of a malfunction and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
