G
The anti-trap protection function does not
eliminate the possibility of fingers or other
parts of the body being trapped against the
door frame and therefore does not eliminate
the risk of injury.
Always make sure that nobody is within the
operating range of the sliding door.iThe anti-trap protection is programmed
to be less sensitive when you press and
hold the switch on the center console
or the switch in the doorway than when
the door opens of its own accord.
Rear doorsWarning
G
When you open the rear door:
\4there must be sufficient clearance
\4make sure that nobody can become
trappedWarning
G
The rear lamps are concealed by more than
50% when you open the rear doors through
90° or more.
The vehicle is then not sufficiently safe-
guarded at the rear and may only be seen by
other road users when they are close to the
vehicle. This could lead to an accident.
Make sure, therefore, that the vehicle is
safeguarded at the rear in accordance with
national legal requirements, e.g. with a
warning triangle.
