Important safety notes G
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system can become very
hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you
could burn yourself by touching the exhaust
system. There is a risk of injury. Always
ensure that you only make a leg movement
within the detection range of sensors.
! If the key is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the boot lid opening unintentionally:
R using a car wash
R using a high-pressure cleaner
Make sure that the key is at least 3 m away
from the vehicle. General notes With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE
ACCESS, you can open or close the boot lid or
stop the procedure without using your hands. This is useful if you have your hands full. To do
this, make a kicking movement under the
bumper with your foot.
Observe the following points:
R Carry your KEYLESS-GO key about your
person. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in
the rear detection range of the vehicle.
R When making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clear-
ance to the rear of the vehicle. You could
otherwise lose your balance, e.g. on ice. R
Always ensure that you only make a kicking
movement within the detection range of
sensors :.
R Stand at least 30 cm away from the rear
area while doing so.
R Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Oth-
erwise, the sensors may not function cor-
rectly.
R HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
R If a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. The boot 96
BootOpening and closing

lid could thus be opened or closed unin-
tentionally, for example, if you:
- sit on the edge of the boot
- set down or lift up an object behind the
vehicle
- polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in such situations. This will
prevent the unintentional opening/closing
of the boot.
R Dirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
R Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
Operation X
To open/close: kick into sensor detection
range :under the bumper with your leg.
You will hear a warning tone while the boot lid is opening or closing.
X If the boot lid does not open after sev-
eral attempts: wait at least ten seconds
then kick under the bumper once again.
i If you hold your foot under the bumper for
too long, the boot lid does not open or
close. Repeat the kicking movement more
quickly if this occurs.
Stopping the opening or closing procedure:
R kick with your leg in the sensor detection
range :under the bumper or
R press the closing button in the boot lid, or
R press the Fbutton on the key If the boot lid closing procedure has been

DANGER
MAGIC SKY CONTROL operates using high
voltage. If the roof lining behind the panorama roof is damaged or removed, electrical com-
ponents will be exposed. If you touch these
components, you could get an electric shock.
There is a risk of fatal injury.
R Never remove the roof lining behind the
panorama roof.
R If the roof lining is damaged, never touch
the electrical components behind it.
R Always have work on the MAGIC SKY CON-
TROL carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
The high-voltage components of MAGIC SKY
CONTROL are protected above the roof lining. The MAGIC SKY CONTROL voltage trans-
former is stamped with a high-voltage sym-
bol, warning you about the high voltage. The electric cables of the high-voltage section are
coloured orange.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL operation X
