This r
esets and memorises the factory-set
opening angle. Memorisation is indicated by
blinking of the hazard warning lights and an
audible warning.
Automatic protection against overheating
If the system is operated repeatedly in a short
space of time, it automatically switches off to
prevent overheating.
Once the system is cool again, the function
can be reused. Until then, the rear lid can only
be opened and closed by hand using reason-
able force.
If the 12-volt battery is disconnected or the
corresponding

to be reset. This requires closing the rear lid
completely once.

WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
is heavily l
oaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due
to the extra weight and cause serious in-
jury.
●
Do not open the rear lid when there is a
lot of snow on it or when carrying a load
(e.g. on a rack).
●
Bef
ore opening the rear lid, remove the
snow or the load.

lid will be aut
omatically opened.
●
If the rear lid fails to open, repeat the pro-
cedure after a few seconds.
To notify that the rear lid has been opened
with the Easy Open function, the turn lights
blink twice.
The rear lid can be closed with another foot
movement similar to the opening one (provi-
ded a valid vehicle key is in the proximity of
the rear lid).
When closed, the rear lid automatically locks
if the vehicle has been locked beforehand
and there is no valid key inside.
While the rear lid is in motion (either opening
or closing), it can be stopped with another
foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proximi-
ty of the rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or on-
ly has limited availability in the following sit-
uations (examples):
●
If the rear bumper is very dirty.
●
If the rear bumper is wet with salt water, e.g.
after having driven on gritted roads.
●
If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a tow bracket.
