Power closing feature

The power closing feature pulls the doors and trunk lid into their locks automatically even if they are only partly closed.

If danger threatens, pull the inside or outside door handle, or pull the trunk lid handle.
To prevent personal injury, never activate the closing assist mechanism by tampering with the door or trunk lid latch.
