Just bought a 2012 E350 estate and I love it but I have one annoying fault,

Randomly when driving the car will "bong" and tell me the boot is open. The lights in the boot area come on and the automatic load cover will raise (which is actually quite dangerous if it happens at the wrong time as it blocks the rear view mirror).

Does anyone know if i've done something wrong/easy fix, before I have to try to get the dealer to sort it? Car has only been in my posession a few days so I won't get involved with any serious repairs at this stage,

Thanks in advance
 
As the car has only been in my possession a few days I took it back to the dealer (if it was a private sale or I'd had it a while i'd sort it myself but at this stage I dont want to get involved).

They sorted it out, it was a faulty microswitch somewhere (didn't remember the specifics as was in a hurry), but swapping to a known good one cured the issue.
 
Good move, at least it is fixed now just in time for Christmas.
