CONTROLS
AND EQUIPMENT

Central
locking system*
With this system all the doors, and - de­
pending
on the position of the tailgate or
wing door lock - the tailgate or wing door

can
also be locked and unlocked.

The
system is operated from the
driver's
door or
front
passenger door - from

outside
with the key, from inside with the
locking
knob.

Note

The
central locking system can only func­
tion correctly when the driver's and
front
passenger
doors are properly
closed.

When
locking,
the locking knobs on all doors must move down. If the knob on one door

does
not move at any time, open the door

concerned
and close it properly.

Attention

•
When
the locking knobs in the

driver's
or
front
passenger doors
are pressed
down
all
other
doors
are locked
automatically.
Since it
would
be
difficult
to ren­
der assistance
from
the outside in an emergency,
when
the doors
are locked, children should
never
be
left
in the vehicle on
their

own. • Locking the doors can
prevent

them
from
bursting open in an
extraordinary
accident situation. Locked doors also
prevent
per­

sons
from
entering
the car forci­ bly e.g. at
traffic
lights.
However,
in an emergency
they
make
it

more
difficult
for outside
help
to
open the doors.
Notes: If the central locking system should develop

a
fault, all the locks can be operated nor­
mally,
see next page.

The
sliding door can be secured or released
separately
with the safety catch.
Sliding door and
tailgate
or
wing

door can be locked or unlocked separately
with the key.
To
unlock the tailgate or wing door insert key

and
turn
it to right (c). Hold in this position

and
press button in.
If the key is withdrawn in the horizontal
posi­

tion (a), locking of the tailgate or wing door
will be controlled by the central locking
sys­

tem when it is closed again.

When
the key is withdrawn in the vertical
position (b) and tailgate or wing door
closed,

it will be locked all the time. The tailgate can
then only be unlocked with the key.

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT

Tailgate

To
open
the tailgate when key slot is hori­
zontal,
pull control behind finger strip on tail­
gate and
lift
tailgate.
To
open
from
inside
On
the inside of the tailgate there is, de­
pending on model, either an opening lever
or an emergency lock release which can be
reached
through a hole in the trim.

This
makes it possible for vehicle occupants
to leave the vehicle via the tailgate in an emergency.
Child
proof
lock*

Vehicles
with
an opening lever on the inside of the tailgate are
fitted
with
a child proof lock.
When the child proof catch is engaged - lever on lock moved down - the inner lever

is
blocked. The tailgate can then only be
opened from outside.
To close
tailgate
pull it down and slam it to gently.

To
make the tailgate easier to pull down there is a loop on the inside.
Attention

•
After
closing the
tailgate
al­

ways
pull
up on it to
make
sure

that
it is
properly
closed -
other­
wise
it could
open
suddenly

when
vehicle
is moving,
even

though
the key has
been
turned
in lock.
• The
tailgate
must
always
be

fully
closed
when
vehicle
is
mov­
ing,

Notes
on loading
In the interests of good handling ensure
that

the load (persons and luggage) is distributed evenly. Heavy items should always be car­ried as near to the rear axle as possible or
better still, between the
axles.

The permissible axle and gross
weights must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
Attention
• It should be noted
that
when
transporting heavy items the handling
will
change due to the
displacement of the centre of
gravity. Driving style and speed must be altered to suit.
• The load must be stowed so

that
no items of luggage can fly
forward if brakes are applied suddenly. - If necessary use the lashing
eyes.
• One should ensure
that
the heater el­
ements in the rear window on the Variant
are not damaged by articles rubbing against
them.
• The stale air
escapes
through ventilation openings at the rear. The function of these openings must not be impaired.
Attention
• When vehicle is on the move no persons may be in the luggage
compartment. This includes

children.
Every passenger must
be belted in properly - see page
15.

• Never drive
with
the tailgate or
wing doors not properly closed otherwise exhaust gas can be
drawn
into
the vehicle
interior.
On
vehicles
with
lashing eyes the load
should always be secured to the
eyes.

Each
eye has a tensile strength of 500 kg.
