Locking and unlocking
Closing the trunk and locking the vehi-
cle from the outside (vehicles with
KEYLESS-GO*)
In vehicles with trunk opening/closing sys-
tem* and KEYLESS-GO, you can close the
trunk lid and lock the vehicle
simultaneously.
1 KEYLESS-GO locking/closing switch
̈ Make sure you have the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO with you.
̈ Press switch 1 briefly.
With all doors closed, the locking
knobs in the doors move down and the
trunk starts to close automatically. All
turn signal lamps flash three times to
confirm locking once the trunk has
closed completely. The anti-theft alarm
system is armed.
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).

To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout,
the trunk will open automatically if a SmartKey
with KEYLESS-GO is recognized inside the vehi-
cle 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.

are around.

ț press the Š button on the SmartKey

ing switch (on driver’s door)
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

pervised use of vehicle equipment may
cause an accident and/or serious personal
injury.
Warning! G

other dangers such as blocked visibility, ex-
haust fumes may enter the vehicle interior.
