Locking the luggage compartment lid

If you unlock the vehicle with the vehicle key, but do not open either a door or the luggage compart-
ment lid in about the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically locked again. This feature helps
prevent you from leaving the vehicle unlocked unintentionally.
It is only possible to lock the luggage compartment lid when it is securely closed and latched.
The power locking system also locks the luggage compartment lid.
If the luggage compartment lid of a locked vehicle is unlocked with the
control vehicle key, it will lock again right after it is closed.
A closed but unlocked luggage compartment lid automatically locks at speeds above about 5 mph

WARNING
Improper or unsupervised closing of the luggage compartment lid can cause severe injuries.
Never close the luggage compartment lid when someone is in the way.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play around your vehicle, especially
with the luggage compartment lid left open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the
luggage compartment lid shut, becoming trapped and unable to get out. A closed vehicle can
become very hot or very cold depending on the season. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness or death, particularly to small children.
Make sure that the remote control vehicle key is not in the luggage compartment before closing
the luggage compartment lid.
