84 Opening and closing
WARNING (Continued)
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing, otherwise, it may open un-
expectedly while driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with the corre-
sponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driving to avoid toxic gases en-
tering the vehicle interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a load carrier installed. Like-
wise, the rear lid cannot be opened when a load is attached to it, for ex-
ample bicycles. An open rear lid could close itself if there is an additional
weight on it. If necessary, press down on the rear lid and remove the
load.
● Close and lock both the rear lid and all the other doors when you are
not using the vehicle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or around the vehicle without su-
pervision, especially if the rear lid is open. Children could enter the lug-
gage compartment, close the rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting in serious injuries and ill-
ness or even death, particularly for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people alone in the vehicle. If the ve-
hicle key or the central locking button is used, they may be locked in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before opening the rear lid, ensure that there is sufficient free space to
open and close it, for example if you are towing a trailer or in a garage.
Warning lamp
lights up Possible cause Solution
The rear lid is open or not
correctly shut.
Stop driving immediately!
Open the rear lid and close it
again.
Several warning and control lamps should light up for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on, signalling that the function is being verified.
They will switch off after a few seconds.
A warning lamp appears on the instrument panel if the rear lid is open or
not properly closed.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, a symbol may be displayed on the
dash panel screen instead of the warning lamp. The indication is also visi-
ble when the ignition is switched off. The indication disappears around 15
seconds after the vehicle has been locked.
WARNING
If the rear lid is not correctly closed, it could open unexpectedly when
driving and cause serious injuries.
● Always stop immediately and close the rear lid.
● Ensure that the rear lid has been locked into place by the element on
the lock carrier when you close it.
