If the vehicle was previously centrally 
locked, the trunk will lock automatically after 
closing it. All turn signal lamps flash three times 
to confirm locking.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*: To prevent a possi-
ble inadvertent lockout, the trunk will open auto-
matically if a SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO is 
recognized inside the vehicle or in the trunk.
The vehicle is only locked when the turn signals 
flash three times. If you are carrying a second 
SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO with you, you can 
still lock the vehicle.
Warning!
G
To prevent possible personal injury, always 
keep hands and fingers away from the trunk 
opening when closing the trunk. Be espe-
cially careful when small children are 
around.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
SmartKey or SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* 
from the starter switch, take it with you, and 
lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unat-
tended in the vehicle, or with access to an 
unlocked vehicle. A child’s unsupervised ac-
cess to a vehicle could result in an accident 
and/or serious personal injury.
