Force limiter
The electric luggage compartment lid (hereinafter referred to only as a lid) is
equipped with a force limiter. If the lid hits an obstacle when closing, it stops
and an audible signal sounds.
If you rapidly enter the vehicle during the opening or closing process of the
boot lid, the whole vehicle may jerk and as a result the movement of the lid
can be interrupted.
Manual operation
Manually opening and closing the lid is only possible in exceptional cases. It
must be completed slowly and without sudden movements as close to the
centre of the lid as possible » .
WARNING
Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the lid. Otherwise,
■
the lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the lid was
locked – risk of accident!
Never drive with the lid open or unlatched, as otherwise exhaust gases
■
may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
CAUTION
The movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an abrupt and quick
■
force against the lid.
Do not attempt to close the door manually during electrical closing process -
■
there is a risk of damaging the system of an electric valve operation.
If the lid is closed manually, it must be ensured that when moving the lid into
■
the lock, pressure is applied to the centre edge of the lid above the ŠKODA
logo. Handling the sides of the lid can damage the electric lid.
CAUTION
Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the open-
■
ing or closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the
roof rack or on the trailer, etc.) – risk of causing damage to the lid!
Ensure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened lid (e.g. dis-
■
tance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, it may happen that the clearance
59
above the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load
61
(e.g. after unloading) – risk of causing damage to the lid.
61
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g. by a thick layer of snow), the
■
61
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. Remove the load on the lid to re-
enable the electrical operation.
If the lid closes automatically (e.g. under load of snow), you will hear an inter-
■
mittent beep.
The flap is always to be close before disconnecting the battery.
