Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display 56 Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Central locking system 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. Always be sure persons who might get injured are away from the trunk area when you operate the trunk closing button located on the vehicle door. To interrupt the hydraulic power closing assist mechanism press trunk lid close button (2) inside the trunk lid, push in trunk lid lock or press button Š on the electronic main key. Notes: The automatic closing process is interrupted if the trunk lid is pushed against an object. The trunk lid will reverse slightly and stop. In its final closing stage the hydraulic power closing assist mechanism releases the trunk lid which then drops into the lock by its own weight. Now the trunk lid will stop but not reverse slightly. Investigate and correct the cause of interruption. Now press trunk lid button (2) again to close the trunk lid. In case of a malfunction the trunk lid can be opened and closed manually. To open, unlock trunk lid with the mechanical key and open lid by hand, see page 53. To close, lower trunk lid with hands placed flat on trunk lid. Please remember to keep your fingers out of the space between the lid and the vehicle. Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk lid will open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO-card is recognized in the area of the rear shelf or inside the trunk.
