of snow on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
●
Before opening the rear lid, remove the
snow or the load.

If the rear bumper is wet with salt water, e.g.
after having driven on gritted roads.
●
If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a tow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot

running water.
The Easy Open function can be connected and
disconnected permanently in the infotainment
system using the button
