Luggage compartment
lid
General information
— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside
= page 40. Locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for emergency workers to enter the ve-
hicle, which puts lives at risk.
Not available in all countries.
— Always close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors when the vehicle is
not in use. Otherwise someone such as a
child could enter the vehicle through the
luggage compartment and become locked
inside it. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or around the vehi-
cle.
—To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,
make sure that no one is in the operating
area of the luggage compartment lid when
closing, especially near the hinges, at the
upper and lower edges of the lid, or all
around the edge of the lid in general.
— After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that itis latched. The luggage
compartment lid could open suddenly while
driving, which would increase the risk of an
accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
from the surrounding area can enter the ve-
hicle interior and increase the risk of asphyx-
iation.
~ If there is a luggage rack (such as a bicycle
rack) on the luggage compartment lid, the
luggage compartment lid may not open
completely under certain circumstances or it
could close by itself if open due to the extra
weight. Therefore, the open luggage com-
partment lid must be given additional sup-
port or the cargo must first be removed
from the luggage rack.
— Applies to: vehicles with power-operated or
sensor-controlled luggage compartment
lid: ) Pay careful attention when closing the
luggage compartment lid. Otherwise, you
could cause serious injury to yourself or oth-
ers despite the pinch protection.
The luggage compartment lid can bump into
objects such as the garage ceiling when open-
ing and become damaged.
