Opening and closing

After closing, the hatch locks automatically. If

the complete vehicle is unlocked, the rear lid

will not lock automatically after closing it.

When closed, the rear lid automatically locks

if the vehicle has been locked beforehand

and there is no valid key inside.

What happens when locking the vehicle

with a second key

If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and

it is locked from the outside with a second ve-

hicle key, the key inside the vehicle is blocked

for engine ignition››› page 241. In order to

enable engine ignition, press the  button on

the key inside the vehicle.

While the rear lid is in motion (either opening

or closing), it can be stopped with another

foot movement similar to the opening one

(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proximi-

ty of the rear lid).
