Controls in detail Locking and unlocking Pull remote trunk lid switch 1 until the trunk begins to open. The trunk lid opens automatically. The indicator lamp in the switch comes on and remains lit until the trunk is closed. The trunk can also be opened using the SmartKey ( page 90) or from its inside in an emergency, see "Trunk lid emergency release" ( page 104). 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 150). Closing from the inside Press the remote trunk lid switch ( page 99) until the indicator lamp in the switch goes out and the trunk lid is closed. To interrupt the closing procedure: Release the remote trunk lid switch. Warning! ! The trunk lid swings open upwards automatically. Always make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance. To stop the opening procedure, press or pull the remote trunk lid switch. G i If the trunk lid does not open, it is still locked separately (if applicable) ( page 105). If the vehicle was previously centrally locked, the trunk lid will lock automatically when closed ( page 99). The turn signals will flash three times to confirm locking. 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. 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 re-opens slightly. 100
