WARNING!

On vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system^*, do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked from the outside and the safelock mechanism^* is activated: the doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside ►Link. Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
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!

Caution!

To avoid damage, please take care that the boot lid does not hit the ceiling when opening it inside a garage or car park, etc.

Note

In the infotainment settings, you can select whether the luggage compartment can be opened using the release catch on the boot lid ►Link.
Acoustic signals will be given while you are closing the boot lid with the remote control key (on vehicles with convenience key^*) or via the button in the driver's door.
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.
The boot lid can be closed with the remote control key (on vehicles with convenience key^*) at a distance of up to approximately 3 metres.
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 trailer socket is connected (e.g. to a bicycle rack) the boot lid can be opened only via the release catch on the handle. It can be closed only via the button inside the boot lid.
