Important safety notes

WARNING

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust

gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust

gases can enter the vehicle interior if the boot

lid is open when the engine is running, espe-

cially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a risk

of poisoning.

Always switch off the engine before opening

the boot lid. Never drive with the boot lid

open.

WARNING

If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or

not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip

over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle

occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially

when braking or abruptly changing directions.

Always store objects so that they cannot be

flung around. Secure objects, luggage or

loads against slipping or tipping before the

journey.

The boot lid swings upwards when opened.

Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient

clearance above the boot lid.

The opening dimensions of the boot lid can be

found in the "Vehicle data" section

HANDS-FREE ACCESS

Important safety notes

WARNING

The vehicle exhaust system can become very

hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you

could burn yourself by touching the exhaust

system. There is a risk of injury. Always

ensure that you only make a leg movement

within the detection range of sensors.

If the key is within the rear detection range

of KEYLESS-GO, the following situations, for

example, could lead to the boot lid opening

unintentionally:

using a car wash

using a high-pressure cleaner

Make sure that the key is at least 3 m away

from the vehicle.

You can also deactivate KEYLESS-GO. Fur-

ther information on deactivating and activat-

ing KEYLESS-GO (Y page 77).

General notes

With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS,

you can open the boot lid without using your

hands. This is useful if you have your hands full.

To do this, make a kicking movement under the

bumper with your foot.

Observe the following points:

Carry your KEYLESS-GO key with you. The key

must be in the KEYLESS-GO detection range

to the rear of the vehicle.

When making the kicking movement, make

sure that you are standing firmly on the

ground and that there is sufficient clearance

to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise

lose your balance, e.g. on ice.

Always ensure that you only make a kicking

movement within the detection range of sen-

sors :.

Stand at least 30 cm away from the rear area

while doing so.

Do not come into contact with the bumper

while making the kicking movement. Other-

wise, the sensors may not function correctly.

Boot

Opening and closing

HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function dur-

ing engine start.

Dirt caused by road salt around sensors :

may restrict functionality.

Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-

thetic leg may restrict functionality.

If a KEYLESS-GO key is in the KEYLESS-GO

detection range to the rear of the vehicle,

HANDS-FREE ACCESS could be triggered.

The boot lid could thus be opened uninten-

tionally, for example, when you:

fold the ball coupling in or out

couple or uncouple a trailer

fit or remove a rear-mounted bicycle rack

load/unload bicycles on/from a rear-

mounted bicycle rack

set down or lift up an object behind the

vehicle

polish the rear of the vehicle

Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key with you in

such situations. This will prevent the uninten-

tional opening of the boot lid.

Operation

To open: kick into sensor detection range :

below the bumper with your foot.

If the boot lid does not open after several

attempts: wait at least ten seconds then kick

under the bumper once again.

If you hold your foot under the bumper for too

long, the boot lid does not open. Repeat the

kicking movement more quickly if this occurs.

Side windows

Important safety notes

WARNING

While opening the side windows, body parts

could become trapped between the side win-

dow and the door frame as the side window

moves. There is a risk of injury.

Make sure that nobody touches the side win-

dow during the opening procedure. If some-

body becomes trapped, release the switch or

pull the switch to close the side window again.

WARNING

While closing the side windows, body parts in

the closing area could become trapped. There

is a risk of injury.

When closing make sure that no parts of the

body are in the closing area. If somebody

becomes trapped, release the switch or press

the switch to open the side window again.

WARNING

If children operate the side windows they

could become trapped, particularly if they are

left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.

Activate the override feature for the rear side

windows. When leaving the vehicle, always

take the key with you and lock the vehicle.

Never leave children unattended in the vehi-

cle.

Side window reversing feature

The side windows are equipped with an auto-

matic reversing feature. If a solid object blocks

or restricts a side window from travelling

upwards during the automatic closing process,

the side window opens again automatically. Dur-

ing the manual closing process, the side window

only opens again automatically after the corre-

sponding switch is released. The automatic

reversing feature is only an aid and is no substi-

tute for your attention when closing a side win-

dow.

WARNING

The reversing function does not react:

to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-

gers

while resetting

This means that the reversing feature cannot

prevent someone being trapped in these sit-

uations. There is a risk of injury.

When closing, make sure that no parts of the

body are in the closing area. If someone

becomes trapped, press the switch to open

the side window again.
