Operation
While the rear lid is in motion (either opening
or c
lo
s
ing), it can be stopped with another
foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proxim-
ity of the rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or only
has limited availability in the following situa-
tions (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 electrical unlocking tow hitch is not
covered.
●
If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a tow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot
or automatically disable to avoid the boot
opening by accident, e.g. when the rain falls.
The Easy Open function can be connected
and disconnected permanently in the info-
tainment system by pressing the
button

What happens when locking the vehicle with
a second key
If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and
it is locked from the outside with a second
vehicle key, the key inside the vehicle is
blocked for engine ignition ››› page 169. In
order to enable engine ignition, the button
on the key
inside the vehicle needs to be
pr
e
s
sed.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensors on
the passenger doors are automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in a unusual manner
with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bush rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a certain period of
time.
Sensors will again be enabled:
●
After a time.
●
OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton
on the key.
●
OR: if
the rear lid is open.
●
OR:
if
the vehicle is unlocked manually with
the key.

WARNING
If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
rear lid, in some c
ases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally turned on and the
rear lid will open, for example, when sweep-
ing under the rear bumper, when directing a
water jet or high pressure steam to the area
or when carrying out maintenance work or re-
pairs in that area. If accidentally opened, the
rear lid could injure somebody situated in its
area of operation or cause material damage.
●
Therefore, always make sure that there is
no unsupervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.
●
Before carrying out any maintenance or re-
pair work on the vehicle, always disable the
Easy Open feature on the infotainment sys-
tem.
●
Before washing the vehicle, always disable
the Easy Open feature on the infotainment
system.
●
Before attaching a bicycle rack or a trailer
››› page 259, always disable the Easy Open
feature on the information system.
