or closing), it can be stopped with another
foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proxim-
ity of the rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions (examples):
● If the rear bumper is very dirty.
● If the rear bumper is wet with salt water,
e.g. after having driven on gritted roads.
● If the electrical unlocking tow hitch is not
covered.
● If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a tow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-

tainment system by pressing the

WARNING
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
rear lid, in some cases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally turned on and the
rear lid will open, for example, when sweep-
ing under the rear bumper, when directing a
water jet or high pressure steam to the area
or when carrying out maintenance work or re-
pairs in that area. If accidentally opened, the
rear lid could injure somebody situated in its
area of operation or cause material damage.
● Therefore, always make sure that there is
no unsupervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.
Before carrying out any maintenance or re-
●
pair work on the vehicle, always disable the
Easy Open feature on the infotainment sys-
tem.

the Easy Open feature on the infotainment
system.
