WARNING

Serious injuries can occur if the boot lid is opened or closed incorrectly or without due care and attention.

● Never open the boot lid if it is covered by a large amount of snow or a load is attached to it. The boot lid may

close under its own weight due to the additional load and cause serious injuries.

● Remove the snow or load before opening the boot lid.

● It may not 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.

● When closing the boot lid, make sure that no-one has their hands in the direct path of the boot lid as it moves.

WARNING

The Park Distance Control sensors cannot overcome system-related vehicle limitations.

● When opening the boot lid electrically, always monitor the area around the vehicle as small children, animals and

objects will not always be detected by the Park Distance Control sensors.

● Certain surfaces of objects and clothes cannot reflect the signals from the sensors. The system is unable to

detect these objects or people wearing this type of clothing as an obstacle, or they may be detected incorrectly.

● External sound sources may affect the signals of the sensors. This may prevent the system from recognising

people or objects.

Before opening or closing the boot lid, check whether there is enough clearance to open or close the boot lid,

e.g. in garages.

If the instrument cluster or infotainment system indicates that the Park Distance Control sensors are faulty,

the sensors can no longer detect people or objects.
