Troubleshooting
The boot lid is locked and unlocked at the same time as the doors.

WARNING
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the boot lid can cause accidents and
serious injuries.
The boot lid should be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is in its path.
Always check that the boot lid is closed properly once it has been closed. The closed boot lid must be
flush with the surrounding body panels.
Always keep the boot lid closed while the vehicle is in motion.

remains in the vehicle.
Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the boot lid is
open. Children could climb into the luggage compartment and shut the boot lid, thereby trapping
themselves inside. Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may become extremely hot or cold,
depending on the season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the
case of small children.

WARNING
Serious injuries could occur if the boot lid is unlocked or opened incorrectly or without due care and
attention.
The boot lid may not always be detected as being unlocked if there is a carrier and items attached to
it. The boot lid may open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion if it is unlocked.

WARNING
If heavy snow or heavy items are located on the boot lid, the additional weight could cause the boot
lid to close on its own and cause severe injuries.
Never open the boot lid if it is covered by a large amount of snow or a load is attached to it, e.g. on a
luggage carrier.
Remove the snow or load before opening the boot lid.

WARNING
Do not push down the boot lid with your hand on the rear window. The rear window could shatter
and cause injuries.

NOTICE
Never use the opening mechanism to fix or hold a load. This could lead to damage that makes it
impossible to close the boot lid.

NOTICE
Never use the rear window wiper or the rear spoiler to fix or hold a load. This could cause damage
which results in the rear window wiper or rear spoiler being torn off.
