During opening, the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate pivots back and up. Make

opening.<
Sedan
Opening from inside
Press button1 or button2*: the luggage com-
partment lid opens unless it has been locked.
Opening from outside
Press the button on the luggage compartment
lid or the button on the remote control for
approx. 1 second: the luggage compartment lid
opens.All keys, refer to page30, fit the luggage-com-
partment lid lock.
Locking separately
Turn a key in the lock of the luggage compart-
ment lid to the right past a resistance point and
remove it in the horizontal position.
This locks the luggage compartment lid and
disconnects it from the central locking system.
If you then hand over the remote control without
the integrated key, refer to page30, no access
is possible via the luggage compartment lid.
This is an advantage when using valet parking,
for example.
Unlocking again and opening manually
Turn the key toward the left up to the stop: the
luggage compartment lid opens.
If you use the lock to unlock the luggage
compartment lid while the alarm system
is armed, the alarm will be triggered. You should
therefore unlock the vehicle ahead of time. If the
alarm is inadvertently triggered: switch off the
alarm, refer to page40.<
Closing
Make sure that the closing path of the
luggage compartment lid is clear, other-
wise injuries may result.<
