Opening and closing Luggage compartment lid/ tailgate During opening, the luggage compartment lid/tailgate pivots back and up. Make sure that adequate clearance is available before opening.< All keys, refer to page 28, fit the luggage-compartment lid lock. Locking separately Turn a key in the lock of the luggage compartment lid to the right past a resistance point and remove it in the horizontal position. This locks the luggage compartment lid and disconnects it from the central locking system. If you then hand over the remote control without the integrated key, refer to page 28, no access is possible via the luggage compartment lid. This is an advantage when using valet parking, for example.
