Operation
If you press one of the b
utt
on
s again, the
rear lid will move again in the original direc-
tion.
If the rear lid is met with resistance or an ob-
stacle during the automatic opening or clos-
ing, opening or closing will be interrupted
immediately. For the closing process, the rear
lid opens again slightly.
●
Check why it has not been possible to open
or close the rear lid.
●
Try to open or close the rear lid again.
●
If necessary, the rear lid can be opened or
closed by hand using reasonable force.
Special feature for pulling a trailer
If the factory-fitted towing bracket is electri-
cally connected to a trailer ››› page 273, the
electric rear lid can only be opened or closed
with the buttons on the rear lid itself.
Acoustic warnings
Throughout the process of opening or closing
the rear lid, acoustic warnings can be heard.
Exception: when the rear lid is opened man-
ually using the handle or the Easy Open func-
tion with the movement of the foot or closed
using the button on the rear lid itself
››› Fig. 137.
Modifying and memorising the opening an-
gle
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. 137 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. 137 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 on-
ly be opened and closed by hand using rea-
sonable force.
If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is
disconnected ››› page 305 or the corre-
sponding fuse burns out ››› page 102, the
system will have to be reset. This requires
closing the rear lid completely once.
