q fig. 29. Do not touch the bumper.
The luggage compartment lid will open/close

d icated by a warning signa l and can be cance led

- you clean your veh icle, for example w ith a pres­
sure washer or in a car wash
- there is heavy rain
- the bumper is very dirty, for example after driv- ing on salt-covered roads
