is running and while driving. Among other
dangers, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases
may enter vehicle interior resulting in
unconsciousness and death.

To prevent possible personal injury, always
keep hands and fingers away from the trunk
opening when closing the trunk lid. Be
especially careful when small children are
around.

Observe Safety notes, see page 51.
Do not leave the SmartKey in the open trunk.

lid will lock automatically when closed. All
turn signal lamps flash three times and an

Warning!
Maintain sight of the area around the rear of
the vehicle while operating the trunk lid with
the door mounted switch. Monitor the closing
procedure carefully to make sure no one is in
danger of being injured.
To interrupt the closing procedure, release
the door mounted remote trunk opening/
closing switch again.
Even with the SmartKey removed from the
starter switch or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-
GO removed from the vehicle, the remote
trunk opening/closing switch can be
operated. Therefore, do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle, or with access to
an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised
access to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
In vehicles with trunk opening/closing
system you can close the trunk from the
inside using the remote trunk opening/
closing switch.
If the trunk lid comes into contact with an
object while closing, the closing procedure is
stopped and the trunk lid reopens slightly.
This will happen only while the trunk is in its
upper motion sequence. Check if luggage has
been piled too high, for example.
