Opening and closing
Rear lid
Introduction
The rear lid unlocks and locks together with the
doors.
On vehicles with the Keyless Access start/lock-
ing system, the rear lid automatically unlocks
when it is opened ›››page99.
WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening
and closing of the rear lid can cause acci-
dents and serious injury.
●
Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
●
Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing
it. If not, it may open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
●
Never open or close the rear lid carelessly
or in an uncontrolled manner, as this could
cause serious injuries to you or third parties.
Make sure that no person or object is in the
way of the rear lid as it closes or opens.
●
Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, exhaust gases may penetrate into
the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poison-
ing!
●
Never open the rear lid if there is cargo,
e.g. bicycles, attached to it. The rear lid may
close by itself due to the additional weight. If
necessary, remove the cargo first or hold the
rear lid.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended or al-
low children to play inside or next to it, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehi-
cle can reach extremely high and low tem-
peratures, depending on the time of year,
thus causing serious injuries, illness or even
death.
NOTICE
●
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
sure that there is enough space to open or
close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a ga-
rage.
●
Never use the rear wiper or rear spoiler to
secure cargo or as a handhold. This could
cause damage that could lead to the break-
age of the rear wiper or spoiler.
Note
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that
the key has not been left inside the luggage
compartment.
