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!
Make sure that when closing the boot lid, no body parts are crushed -
■
there is danger of injury!
CAUTION
Do not try to close the lid manually during the electrical closing process. Dam-
age can occur to the system of the electric boot 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
above the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load
(e.g. after unloading) – risk of causing damage to the lid.
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
■
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.
Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.
