Opening and closing approx. 1 second: the luggage compartment lid opens. All keys, refer to page 28, fit the luggage-compartment lid lock. The handle recesses on the interior trim of the luggage compartment lid make it easier to pull down. Emergency release 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. Pull the lever in the cargo bay. The luggage compartment lid is unlocked. Unlocking again and opening manually Turn the key toward the left up to the stop: the luggage compartment lid opens. If you use the lock to unlock the luggage compartment lid while the alarm system is armed, the alarm will be triggered. You should therefore unlock the vehicle ahead of time. If the alarm is inadvertently triggered: switch off the alarm, refer to page 37.< Sports Wagon: opening and closing rear window Small items can be loaded and unloaded quickly when the rear window is opened separately. Closing Make sure that the closing path of the luggage compartment lid is clear, otherwise injuries may result.< Press the button: the rear window opens somewhat. It can be swung upward.
