The trunk can also be opened using the SmartKey ( page 90) 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. You can activate the limiting opening height of trunk lid using the control system ( page 153). Closing from the inside Press remote trunk lid switch 2 ( page 98) until the indicator lamp 1 goes out and trunk lid is closed. To interrupt the closing procedure: Release remote trunk lid switch 2. Warning! G ! The trunk lid swings open upwards automatically. Always make sure that there is sufficient overhead clearance. To stop the opening procedure, press or pull the remote trunk lid switch. 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 switch. Even with the SmartKey removed from the starter switch or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* removed from the vehicle, the remote trunk lid switch can be operated. Therefore, 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. i If the trunk lid does not open, it is still locked separately (if applicable) ( page 104). If the vehicle was previously centrally locked, the trunk lid will lock automatically when closed ( page 98). The turn signal will flash three times to confirm locking. If the trunk lid comes into contact with an object while closing (e.g. luggage that has been piled too high) in the upper motion sequence, the closing procedure is stopped and the trunk reopens slightly. 99
