Modifying and memorising the opening
angle
If the space behind or above the vehicle is
less than the travel area of the rear lid, you
can change the opening angle of the rear lid.
To memorise a new opening angle, the rear
lid must be open at least halfway.
●
Interrupt the opening process in the de-
sired position.
●
Press the
button
›››
Fig. 83 on the rear
lid for at least 3 seconds.
The opening angle is memorised. Memorisa-
tion is indicated by blinking of the hazard
warning lights and an audible warning.
Resetting and memorising the opening
angle
For the rear lid to reopen completely, the
opening angle must be reset and memorised
again.
●
Release the rear lid and open it to the
memorised height.
●
Lift the rear lid by hand as far as it goes. To
do this, some force will have to be used.
●
Press the
button
›››
Fig. 83 on the rear
lid for at least 3 seconds.

This resets and memorises the factory-set
opening angle. Memorisation is indicated by
blinking of the hazard warning lights and an
audible warning.
Automatic protection against overheating
If the system is operated repeatedly in a
short space of time, it automatically switches
off to prevent overheating.
Once the system is cool again, the function
can be reused. Until then, the rear lid can
only be opened and closed by hand using
reasonable force.
If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is
disconnected

sponding fuse burns out

WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
is heavily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due
to the extra weight and cause serious in-
jury.
●
Do not open the rear lid when there is a
lot of snow on it or when carrying a load
(e.g. on a rack).
●
Before opening the rear lid, remove the
snow or the load.
