Controls in detail Locking and unlocking Closing the trunk from the outside (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*) In vehicles with trunk opening/closing system* you can close the trunk separately. 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 reopens slightly. Warning! G Only drive with the trunk closed as, among other dangers such as blocked visibility, exhaust fumes may enter the vehicle interior. i To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk will open automatically if a SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is recognized inside the vehicle or in the trunk. i Do not place the SmartKey in the open trunk. You may lock yourself out. i If the vehicle was previously centrally locked, the trunk will lock automatically after closing it. All turn signal lamps flash three times to confirm locking. 1 Trunk closing switch Make sure you have the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO with you. Press switch 1 briefly. The trunk closes. i You can also close the trunk by hand ( page 104). 106
