 Note

If anything is preventing the trunk lid from being opened, pinch protection will be activated.

  • When opening, the trunk will stop moving and a long audible signal will sound.

If the vehicle is moving when the pinch protection is activated, the tailgate will stop where it is and the driver will be notified through a message in the instrument panel.
