Luggage compartment lid
40n
Opening from the inside
If the luggage compartment lid has not
been locked separately, you can open it
with this button when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
Closing
The handle recess in the interior trim
panel of the luggage compartment lid
(arrow) makes it easier to pull the lid
down.
Automatic Soft-Close feature
To close the luggage compartment lid,
merely press it down gently. The clos-
ing process will then be carried out au-
tomatically.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage com-
partment lid is clear when it is closed,
as with all closing procedures.
Operate the vehicle only when the lug-
gage compartment lid is completely
closed. Otherwise, exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior of the vehi-
cle. Should it be absolutely necessary
to operate the vehicle with the luggage
compartment lid open:
> Close all windows. Shut the sliding/
tilt sunroof
> Increase the airflow of the automatic
climate control to a high level. Refer
to page 107.<
