Trunk When the trunk is separately locked, it remains locked when centrally unlocking the vehicle. To deny any unauthorized person access to the trunk, lock it separately with the mechanical key. Leave only the electronic main key less its mechanical key with the vehicle. Notes: In case of a malfunction in the central locking system the trunk can be unlocked individually. To unlock and open the trunk lid, turn mechanical key to position 1, hold and push to open. The mechanical key does not operate the central locking system or antitheft alarm system. When unlocking the trunk with the mechanical key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will sound. To cancel the alarm, insert the electronic key in the steering lock or press button Œ or ‹ on the electronic main key. If the fuel filler flap cannot be opened, see page 296. Important! Do not place mechanical key inside trunk, since trunk is locked again when the lid is closed if the vehicle has been previously centrally locked. Warning! To prevent possible personal injury, always keep hands and fingers away from the trunk opening when closing the trunk lid. Be especially careful when small children are around.
