Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid. Never drive with the trunk lid
open.
!
The trunk lid swings upwards when opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance above the trunk lid.
The opening dimensions of the trunk lid can be
found under "Vehicle data" (Y page 325).

You can open the trunk lid from the driver's seat
when the vehicle is stationary and unlocked.
X

the trunk lid until the trunk lid opens.
Limiting the opening angle of the tail-
gate
General notes
!
Make sure there is sufficient clearance to
open the tailgate fully when setting the open-
ing angle. The tailgate could otherwise be
damaged. Ideally, set the opening angle out-
side.
You can limit the opening angle of the tailgate.
This could be useful, for example, if there is
insufficient space above the tailgate. It is pos-
sible to limit the tailgate in the top half of its
opening range.
To open the tailgate fully, pull the handle on the
outside of the tailgate again after it has stopped
automatically. This does not delete the stored
position.

tailgate.

To stop the opening procedure at the
desired position:
R
press the closing button in the tailgate, or
R
pull the handle on the outside of the tailgate
again, or
R
press the tailgate button on the SmartKey
X
To store the position: press and hold the
closing button on the tailgate until you hear a
short tone.
The opening angle limiter is activated. The
tailgate will now stop in the stored position
when opening.
