Controls in detail Locking and unlocking The trunk can also be opened using the SmartKey ( page 88) or from its inside in an emergency, see "Trunk lid emergency release" ( page 103). Limiting opening height of trunk lid The trunk lid opening height can be limited when transporting goods on a roof rack (e.g. presence of an MB sport luggage container). When activated, the trunk lid opens to approximately the height of the roof edge. With the trunk lid closed, press the remote trunk lid closing switch 2 ( page 99) and hold for at least five seconds. Depending on its previous status, the opening height limitation is then switched on or off. You can activate or deactivate the opening height limitation with the control system, see "Setting trunk lid opening limiter (vehicles with trunk lid opening/closing system*)" ( page 149). Closing the trunk from the inside Press the remote trunk lid closing switch 2 ( page 98) until the indicator lamp in the switch goes out and the trunk lid is closed. To interrupt the closing procedure: Release remote trunk lid closing switch 2. Warning! Warning! G Maintain sight of trunk area while operating the door mounted switch. Monitor the closing procedure carefully to ensure that no one is in danger of being injured. To interrupt the closing procedure, release the door mounted remote trunk lid closing switch. G Only drive with the trunk closed. Among other dangers, such as your view being blocked, exhaust fumes may enter the vehicle interior. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey from the starter switch, take the SmartKey with you and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause an accident and/or serious personal injury. If the trunk lid comes into contact with an object while closing (e.g. luggage that has been piled too high), the closing procedure is stopped and the trunk reopens slightly. 99
