Luggage compartment
lid
General information
ZA WARNING
— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system: No one, especially children, should
stay in the vehicle when it is locked from the
outside, because the windows can no longer
be opened from the inside > page 31, Anti-
theft
alarm system. Locked doors make it
more difficult for emergency workers to en-
ter the vehicle, which puts lives at risk. >

83A012721BA
Opening and closing
— Always close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors when the vehicle is
not in use. Otherwise someone such as a
child could enter the vehicle through the
luggage compartment and become locked
inside it. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or around the vehi-
cle.
—To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,
make sure that no one is in the operating
area of the luggage compartment lid, in-
cluding the hinge areas and the upper and
lower edge of the luggage compartment lid.
—
After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that it is latched. The luggage
compartment lid could open suddenly while
driving, which would increase the risk of an
accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
from the surrounding area can enter the ve-
hicle interior and increase the risk of asphyx-
iation.
— Applies to: vehicles with power-operated or
sensor-controlled luggage compartment lid:
If there is a luggage rack (such as a bicycle
rack) on the luggage compartment lid, the
luggage compartment lid may not open
completely under certain circumstances or it
could close by itself if open due to the extra
weight. Therefore, the open luggage com-
partment lid must be given additional sup-
port or the cargo must first be removed
from the luggage rack.
— Applies to: vehicles with power-operated or
sensor-controlled luggage compartment lid:
Pay careful attention when closing the lug-
gage compartment lid. Otherwise, you could
cause serious injury to yourself or others de-
spite the pinch protection.

The luggage compartment lid can bump into
objects such as the garage ceiling when open-
ing and become damaged.

slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger's exterior
mirror.
You can adjust the tilted mirror surface by turn-
ing the knob in the desired direction.
The mirror moves from the reversing position
back to the original position:
— When you switch the ignition off
— Once you drive forward at speeds faster than 9
mph (15 km/h)
— When the knob is no longer in the position for

Z\ WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (for example convex)
enlarge the field of vision. However, they
make objects in the mirror appear smaller and
farther away. When using these mirrors to es-
timate your distance to vehicles behind you
when changing lanes, you could estimate in-
correctly, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
@) Note
— Applies to: vehicles with power folding exte-
rior mirrors: If the mirror housing was
moved by force (for example, by running in-
to an object when maneuvering the vehicle),
the mirror must be folded all the way in us-
ing the power folding function. The mirrors
will make a loud noise when they latch into
place. The mirror housing must not be
moved back into place by hand because this
would impair the function of the mirror
mechanism.
— Applies to: vehicles without power folding
exterior mirrors: If the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as by an im-
pact while maneuvering), you must move
the mirror housing back into place by hand.
— If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
