Important safety notes
G WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The trunk lid swings upwards when
opened. Therefore, make sure that there is
sufficient clearance above the trunk lid.
i
You can limit the opening angle of the
trunk lid in COMAND; see the separate
operating instructions.
i
The opening dimensions of the trunk lid
can be found in the "Vehicle data" section
( page 495).
Y
Do not leave the SmartKey in the trunk. You
could otherwise lock yourself out.
You should preferably place luggage or loads
in the trunk. Observe the loading guidelines
( page 372).
Y
Obstacle recognition with trunk lid
reversing feature
On vehicles with trunk lid remote closing fea-
ture, the trunk lid is equipped with automatic
obstacle recognition with reversing feature. If
a solid object blocks or restricts the trunk lid
when automatically opening or closing, this
procedure is stopped. If the trunk lid is stop-
ped during the closing procedure, it will open
again automatically. The automatic obstacle
recognition with reversing feature is only an
aid. It is not a substitute for your attentive-
ness when opening and closing the trunk lid.
G WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
R
gers
over the last 1/3 in (8 mm) of the closing
R
movement
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
