The rear lid can be closed with another foot
movement similar to the opening one (provi-
ded a valid vehicle key is in the proximity of the
rear lid).
When closed, the rear lid automatically locks
if the vehicle has been locked beforehand and
there is no valid key inside.

or closing), it can be stopped with another foot
movement similar to the opening one (provi-
ded a valid vehicle key is in the proximity of the
rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions (examples):
●
If the rear bumper is very dirty.
●
If the rear bumper is wet with salt water, e.g.
after having driven on gritted roads.
●
If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a tow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the EasyOpen fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot
or may deactivate automatically, to avoid the
boot opening by accident, e.g. because of the
running water.
The Easy Open function can be connected and
disconnected permanently in the infotainment
system using the button > Vehicle > Exte-
rior > Central locking.
WARNING
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
rear lid, in some cases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally activated and the
rear lid will open, for example, when sweep-
ing under the rear bumper, when directing a
water jet or high pressure steam to the area
or when carrying out maintenance work or
repairs in that area. If accidentally opened,
the rear lid could injure somebody situated in
its area of operation or cause material dam-
age.
●
Therefore, always make sure that there is
no unsupervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.

Before carrying out any maintenance or re-
pair work on the vehicle, always disable the
Easy Open feature via the infotainment sys-
tem.

Before washing the vehicle, always disable
the Easy Open function via the infotainment
system.
