a slippery road surface when you brake heavily.
Rthe vehicle starts to skid.
Important safety notes i Observe the "Important safety notes"
section (Y page 67).
If ESP® is malfunctioning, you will not receive steering support from STEER CONTROL. Power steering will, however, continue to function.

movement within the detection range of sensors.
! If the SmartKey is within the rear
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situations, for example, could lead to the unintentional opening of the trunk lid/tailgate: Rusing a car wash Rusing a power washer Make sure that the SmartKey is at least 6.5 ft (2 m) away from the vehicle.
General notes With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you can open or close the trunk lid/ tailgate or stop the procedure without using your hands. This is useful if you have your hands full. All you need to do is make a kicking movement with your leg under the bumper. Observe the following points: RCarry your KEYLESS-GO key about your person. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in the rear detection range of the vehicle.
RWhen making the kicking movement, make
sure that you are standing firmly on the ground and that there is sufficient clearance to the rear of the vehicle. You could otherwise lose your balance e.g. on ice.
(Example: Sedan)
94
Trunk/cargo compartment
Operation
RAlways ensure that you only make the kicking movement within the detection range of sensors :.
RStand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
RDo not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement. Otherwise, the sensors may not function correctly.
RHANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
RIf 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.
RUsing the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a prosthetic leg may restrict functionality.
(Example: Sedan) X To open/close: kick into sensor detection range : under the bumper with your foot. You will hear a warning tone while the trunk lid/tailgate is opening or closing.
X If the trunk lid/tailgate does not open after several attempts: wait at least ten seconds, then move your foot under the bumper again.
i If you hold your foot under the bumper for
too long, the trunk lid/ tailgate does not open or close. Repeat the leg movement faster if this occurs.
To stop the opening or closing procedure: Rmove your foot in sensor detection
range : under the bumper
Rpull the outside of the handle on the trunk
lid/tailgate
Rpress the closing button in the trunk lid/
tailgate, or
Rpress the F button on the SmartKey
If the trunk lid/tailgate closing procedure has been stopped: Rkick with your foot again under the bumper
and the trunk lid/tailgate will open.
If the trunk lid/tailgate opening procedure has been stopped: Rmove your foot again under the bumper and
the trunk lid/tailgate will close.
Opening/closing automatically from inside Important safety notes G WARNING Parts of the body could become trapped during automatic closing of the trunk lid or tailgate. Moreover, people, e.g. children, may be standing in the closing area or may enter the closing area during the closing process. There is a risk of injury.
