It is not necessary to slam the door or trunk
lid closed. An electrical power-assisted
mechanism draws doors and trunk lid closed
quietly and automatically once door and trunk
lid has been latched. When the electrical
power-assisted mechanism has stopped,
doors and/or trunk can be reopend.

To prevent possible personal injury, always
keep hands and fingers away from the door
or trunk opening when closing a door or the
trunk lid. Be especially careful when small
children are around.
In case of danger, pull the inside or outside
door handle, or pull the trunk lid handle.
To prevent personal injury, never actuate
the closing assist mechanism by tampering
with the door or trunk lid latch.
G Warning!
Only drive with the doors closed.
Otherwise, one or more of the doors could
open while the vehicle is in motion, putting
you and/or others at risk.
G Warning!
Make sure the trunk is closed when the
engine is running and while driving. Among
other dangers, deadly carbon monoxide
(CO) gases may enter vehicle interior
resulting in unconsciousness and death.
