Opening and closing
34
If you now lock the storage compartment
beneath the front armrest, see page 116, and
hand over only the remote control without the
key, see page 28, it will not be possible to gain
access to the luggage compartment via the lid.
This is an advantage, for example, at hotels.
Manual operation
In the event of an electrical fault, see Opening
separately on page 33.
Opening from inside
With this button, you can open the luggage
compartment lid while the car is stationary, pro-
vided it is not deadlocked.
Closing
A recessed handle in the luggage compartment
lid lining makes it easier to pull the lid down.
Soft Close Automatic
To close the luggage compartment lid, push it
to only lightly. The actual closing action is auto-
matic.
To avoid injuries, make sure that the clos-
ing area of the luggage compartment lid is
unobstructed.<

Opening
The luggage compartment lid opens com-
pletely if you press:
> The button next to the steering column.
> The button on the outside of the luggage
compartment lid, see page 33.
> The button on the remote control, see
page 31.
On certain national-market versions, the
luggage compartment lid can only be
opened with the remote control if the car has
first been unlocked.
The luggage compartment lid swings rearwards
and upwards when opened. Make sure that
there is sufficient clearance.<
Closing
The luggage compartment lid closes automati-
cally if you:
> Press the button.
> Press the button on the outside of the lug-
gage compartment lid, see page 33.
> Press and hold down the button on the
remote control.
The opening or closing process is inter-
rupted if one of the buttons is pressed
again or if the button is released. This also
occurs if you hold down the lid. If you then press
the button again, the luggage compartment lid
reopens.<
To avoid injuries, make sure that the clos-
ing area of the luggage compartment lid is
unobstructed.<
