If doors or the boot lid are still open when the anti-theft alarm is activated, only the anti-theft alarm is
activated. Interior monitoring and the anti-tow alarm are not activated until all doors and the boot lid are
closed.
The SAFELOCK is also deactivated when the interior monitoring and anti-tow alarm are switched
off.
Retrofitted equipment or loads that are inadequately secured can restrict correct functioning of the system
and increase the risk of a false alarm.
Introduction
The boot lid is unlocked and locked together with the doors.
A symbol in the instrument cluster display indicates if the boot lid is not closed properly. Do not drive on! Close the
boot lid →
.
This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the vehicle has been
locked when all doors and lids are closed.
WARNING
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the boot lid can cause accidents and serious injuries.
● Open or close the boot lid only when there is no-one in the movement path.
● Always check that the boot lid is properly closed after closing it. The closed boot lid must be flush with the
surrounding body panels.
● Always keep the boot lid closed while the vehicle is in motion.
● Never open the boot lid when loads are secured to it. The boot lid may close under its own weight due to the
additional load. Support the boot lid as necessary or remove the load beforehand.
● Close and lock the boot lid and all doors when the vehicle is not in use. Ensure that no one remains in the vehicle.
● Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the boot lid is open. Children
could climb into the interior and shut the boot lid, thereby trapping themselves inside. Temperatures inside a
locked vehicle can reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness
or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.
WARNING
Any door that is not properly closed could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead to severe
injuries.
● Stop immediately and close the door.
● Make sure that the door is closed properly and that the lock has engaged. The closed door must be flush with the
surrounding body panels.
● Open or close the doors only when there is no-one in the movement path of the boot lid.
WARNING
Serious injuries can occur if the boot lid is unlocked or opened incorrectly or without due care and attention.
● It may not always be apparent that the boot lid is unlocked, for example when a loaded luggage carrier is
attached to it. If unlocked, the boot lid may open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion.
● After closing the boot lid, always check that the catch is engaged securely in the lock carrier.
WARNING
If there is a large amount of snow or a heavy load on the boot lid, the boot lid may lower by itself and cause serious
injuries due to the additional weight.
● Never open the boot lid if it is covered by a large amount of snow or a load is attached to it, e.g. a luggage carrier.
● Remove the snow or load before opening the boot lid.
