Luggage compartment lid/tailgate
Closing:
With this button, you can close the tail-
gate completely.
If you press it again, you interrupt the
closing process. This also occurs if you
hold down the tailgate.
If you then press the button (or the one
in the handle) again, the tailgate will re-
open.

Emergency operation
(in the event of an electrical malfunc-
tion)
Release the tailgate manually (see
page 39) and open and close it slowly,
without sudden movements.
To avoid injuries, as with any
closing process, ensure that the
closing area of the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate is unobstructed.
If possible, drive only with the tailgate
and rear window fully closed, to prevent
exhaust gases from the entering the
passenger compartment. If you are
obliged to drive the car with the tailgate
or rear window open:
>
Close all other windows and the
sunroof
>
Increase the air flow from the ventila-
tion outlets or air conditioning
considerably; see page 112 or 116.
