Warning
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 pro-
grammed to be less sensitive when
you press and hold the switch on the
center console or the switch in the

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 acci-
dent.
Make sure, therefore, that the vehicle is
safeguarded at the rear in accordance
with national legal requirements, e.g. with
a warning triangle.
