the luggage compartment lid and discon-
nects it from the central locking system.
If you then lock the storage compartment
in the center armrest before handing over

example.

Opening separately.
Opening from inside
You can use this button to open the lug-
gage compartment lid when the vehicle is
stationary. This is not possible, if the lug-
gage compartment lid has been locked
separately.
Closing
A recess has been incorporated into the
inside trim on the luggage compartment lid
to make it easier to pull down.
Comfort Access*
If a remote control is detected in the
luggage compartment after the lug-
gage compartment lid has been closed, the
luggage compartment lid opens automati-
cally.

lid pivots upward and to the rear. Ensure
that adequate clearance is available before
opening.<
Automatic soft closing
To close the luggage compartment lid,
merely press it down gently. The closing
process will then be carried out automati-
cally.
To avoid personal injury, always
ensure that no individuals are within
the luggage compartment lid's travel range
when closing.<
Operate the vehicle only when the
luggage compartment lid is com-
pletely closed. Otherwise, exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior of the vehicle.<
If special circumstances should make it
absolutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open:
>Close all windows and the glass roof
>Adjust the automatic climate control's
blower to supply a high rate of airflow,
refer to page105.
