WARNING!

Always be careful when closing the boot lid. A safety feature is provided (pinch protection), but this may not always be able to prevent serious injuries to yourself or others in all circumstances.
To prevent any risk of injury, always make sure that no one is in the path of the boot lid - in particular around the hinges and the upper and lower edges.
The boot lid must always be completely closed when the vehicle is moving; otherwise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into the interior.
If a luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is mounted to the boot lid, the boot lid may not open completely or may move downwards by itself due to the added weight. For this reason, make sure you support the boot lid or take the luggage off the carrier before opening the boot lid - risk of injury!

Note

When towing a trailer^* the automatic open function can only be operated via the release catch on the boot lid.
If the battery is low, the boot lid can still be opened and closed manually; however, this will require more effort.
If you move the boot lid slowly less effort will be required.
When the vehicle is locked, you can unlock the boot lid separately by pressing the button on the remote control key. The boot lid will lock automatically when you close it again.
