Boot lid/tailgate reversing feature
The boot lid/tailgate is equipped with an
automatic reversing feature. It reacts if a solid
object obstructs or restricts the boot lid/tail-
gate during the closing procedure. The boot
lid/tailgate opens again automatically. The
automatic reversing function is only an aid
and is not a substitute for your attentiveness
to the boot lid/tailgate while it is closing.
G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R
over the last 8 mm of the closing path
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 is trapped:
R
press the F button on the key, or
R
press the remote operating switch on the
driver's door, or

press the closing or locking button on the
boot lid/tailgate, or
