2) The closing function applies to vehicles that also have au-
tomatic luggage compartment lid operation.
Please note that when you have the conven-
ience key with you, the sensor-controlled lug-
gage compartment lid could open or close un-
expectedly during activity near the rear of the
vehicle (for example, the lid could hit the ceil-
ing in a garage).
The luggage compartment lid will only open
or close 2) if you perform the movement as
described. This prevents the luggage com-
partment lid from opening or closing due to
similar movements 2), such as when you walk
between the rear of the vehicle and your ga-
rage door. In some situations, the function
may be limited or temporarily unavailable.
This may happen if:
— You are standing too close to the bumper or
too far away from it
~The luggage compartment lid was closed or
opened immediately beforehand
— You park close to a hedge and the branches
move back and forth under the vehicle for a
long period of time
—You clean your vehicle, for example with a
pressure washer or in a car wash
—There is heavy rain
~The bumper is very dirty, for example after
driving on salt-covered roads
—There is interference to the vehicle key's ra-
dio signal, such as from mobile devices or
remote controls
