Trunk
When the trunk is separately locked, it remains locked
when centrally unlocking the vehicle.
To deny any unauthorized person access to the trunk,
lock it separately with the mechanical key. Leave only
the electronic main key less its mechanical key with the
vehicle.
Notes:
In case of a malfunction in the central locking system
the trunk can be unlocked individually.
To unlock and open the trunk lid, turn mechanical key
to position 1, hold and push to open.
The mechanical key does not operate the central locking
system or antitheft alarm system.
When unlocking the trunk with the mechanical key, the
exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will sound.
To cancel the alarm, insert the electronic key in the
steering lock or press button
Œ or ‹ on the
electronic main key.
If the fuel filler flap cannot be opened, see page 296.
Important!
Do not place mechanical key inside trunk, since trunk is
locked again when the lid is closed if the vehicle has
been previously centrally locked.
Warning!
To prevent possible personal injury, always keep
hands and fingers away from the trunk opening
when closing the trunk lid. Be especially careful
when small children are around.
