Controls in detail Locking and unlocking 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 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. Monitor the closing procedure carefully to make sure no one is in danger of being injured. To prevent possible personal injury, always keep hands and fingers away from the trunk opening when closing the trunk. Be especially careful when small children are around. To stop the closing procedure, do one of the following: press KEYLESS-GO locking/closing switch 1 ( page 126) press the trunk closing switch 1 press button Š on the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO ( page 111) press the remote trunk switch (on the driver's door) ( page 120) Even with the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO removed from the vehicle, the trunk closing 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. Warning! G Only drive with the trunk closed as, among other dangers such as blocked visibility, exhaust fumes may enter the vehicle interior. i If the vehicle was previously centrally locked, the trunk will lock automatically after closing it ( page 121).
