Trunk lid reversing feature
The trunk lid is equipped with an automatic
reversing feature. It reacts if a solid object
obstructs or restricts the trunk lid during the
closing procedure. The trunk lid opens again
automatically. The automatic reversing fea-
ture is only an aid and is not a substitute for
your attentiveness to the trunk lid while it is
closing.
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

This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.

proximity during the closing procedure.
