Trunk lid reversing feature
The trunk lid is equipped with an automatic
reversing feature. It reacts if a solid object
obstructs or restricts the trunk lid during the
closing procedure. The trunk lid opens again
automatically. The automatic reversing func-
tion is only an aid and is not a substitute for
your attentiveness to the trunk lid while it is
closing.

WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
R
gers
over the last 1/3 in (8 mm) of the closing
R
movement
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
