Closing the trunk from the outside
(vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*)
In vehicles with trunk opening/closing sys-
tem* you can close the trunk separately.
1 Trunk closing switch
̈ Make sure you have the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO with you.
̈ Press trunk closing switch 1 briefly.
The trunk closes.
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.
i
You can also close the trunk by hand
(
page 113).
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.
Warning! G
Monitor the closing procedure carefully to
ensure that no one is in danger of being in-
jured. 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:
ț press trunk closing switch 1
ț press KEYLESS-GO locking/closing
switch
ț press the remote trunk opening or clos-
ing switch (on driver’s door)
ț press the Š button on the SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO
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. Unsu-
pervised 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 112). All turn signal lamps
flash three times, and an acoustic signal sounds
three times, to confirm locking.
