Unlocking and opening doors
> Either unlock all of the doors by using the
central locking system button and then pull
on the door handle above the armrest or
> pull the door handle of each door twice: the
first time unlocks the door, the second time
opens it.
Engaging locks
> Either lock all doors via the central locking
system button or
> press down the lock buttons of the doors.
To prevent you from being locked out, the
opened driver's door cannot be locked
using the lock button.
Because any persons or animals left unat-
tended in a parked vehicle could lock the
doors from the inside, you should always keep
the vehicle key with you; this precaution
ensures that you will remain able to unlock the
vehicle from the outside at all times.
<
You can set an acoustic signal to remind
you if the ignition key is still in the ignition
lock after you open the driver's door. <
Liftgate
To avoid damage, make sure there is suf-
ficient space when opening the liftgate.
<
Opening from outside
Press the button, refer to arrow, or the but-
ton on the remote control. The liftgate opens
slightly. It can be pivoted upward.
When the liftgate is open, the cargo area and
interior are lit up.
Opening manually
In the event of an electrical malfunction:
1. Fold up the floor cover in the cargo area.
2. Release the jack from the bracket.
3. Press the lever behind the cover to the side,
refer to arrow. The liftgate is released.
The liftgate is locked again as soon as it is
closed.
Closing
The handle recesses on the interior trim of the
liftgate make it easier to pull down.
Avoid injuries by making sure that the lift-
gate's closing region is clear and unob-
structed. <
