Mercedes-Benz E-Wagon 2014 Owners Manual - Manual (Page 96)

R Always ensure that you only make the
kicking movement within the detection
range of sensors :.
R Stand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
R Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement.
Otherwise, the sensors may not function
correctly.
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, HAND-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. For this
reason, the trunk lid/tailgate could open or
close unintentionally, e.g. if you:
- set something down or lift something up
behind the vehicle
- polish the rear of the vehicle.
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in these situations or in
situations similar to these. You can thus
avoid unintentionally opening or closing the
trunk lid/tailgate.
R Using the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a
prosthetic leg may restrict functionality.
