Only the master keys with remote control, refer
to page 28, match the luggage compartment
lock.
Locking separately
Turn the master key with remote control in the
lock of the luggage compartment lid beyond a
resistance point to the right and withdraw it in
the horizontal position.
This locks the luggage compartment lid and
disconnects it from the central locking system.
If you then only hand over the spare key, refer to
page 28, no access is possible via the luggage
compartment lid. This is an advantage when
using valet parking, for example.
Unlocking again and opening manually
Turn master key toward the left until the resis-
tance point: the luggage compartment lid
opens.
If you use the key to unlock the luggage
compartment lid while the alarm system
is armed, the alarm will be triggered. You should
therefore unlock the vehicle ahead of time. If the
alarm is inadvertently triggered: switch off the
alarm, refer to page 36.<

Emergency release

This lever releases the luggage compartment
lid from inside the luggage compartment.
Closing
Make sure that the closing path of the
luggage compartment lid is clear, as
otherwise injuries may
*
result.<
