Keyless unlocking of the boot lid*

For keyless unlocking of the boot lid, all you have to do is have the remote control key in a pocket or bag, for example.

The boot lid is held closed by an electrical lock.

To open the tailgate:
Press gently on the rubberised pressure plate beneath the boot lid handle.
The lock is released.

 Note

One of the car's remote control keys must be within range behind the car for unlocking to work.
Lift by the outside handle in order to fully open the tailgate.

 Important

  • Minimal force is required to release the boot lid's lock - just gently press the rubberised panel.
  • Do not place the lift force on the rubber panel when opening the boot lid - lift the handle. Using too much force may damage the electrical contacts on the rubber panel.

It is also possible to open the boot lid hands-free with a foot movement under the rear bumper, see separate section.

 Warning

Do not drive with an open boot lid! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car through the cargo area.
