Opening and closing
WARNING
It is possible that the rear lid does not open completely or, if it is open,
closes alone if a large amount of snow has built up on it or if a luggage
rack is fitted. In this case, the rear lid must be supported.
CAUTION
● When using a trailer, ensure that there is sufficient space to open and
close the rear lid.
● Before opening the rear lid, any kind of equipment carrier should be re-
moved, for example a bicycle carrier.
CAUTION
In case of repeated short-term use, the system is turned off to avoid over-
heating.
● When it has cooled, it may be used once again. During this time, the
rear lid may be manually opened or closed applying a little more effort.
● If the vehicle battery is disconnected or the fuse blows when the rear lid
is open, the rear lid system must be re-initialised. To do this, close the rear
lid.
Note
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that the key has not been left inside
the luggage compartment.
