NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components.
Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless
you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and
conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key
when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic
alarm, even if you think you are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupt-
ed by interference from transmitters near the vehicle that use the
same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad
weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒ fig. 20 or the power
locking buttons⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside are
pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is
switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded.
The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or

the luggage compartment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehi-
cle is automatically locked afterwards.

vated.

WARNING
When the child safety lock is engaged, that rear door cannot be
opened from the inside.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves, in the vehicle when locking the doors.
This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This
could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emer-
gency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.

WARNING
Accidents and severe personal injuries can result if you unlock,
open, or close the luggage compartment lid when someone is
in the way.
Only open or close the luggage compartment lid if no one is
in the way.
After closing the luggage compartment lid, always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked so that it cannot open sud-
denly when the vehicle is moving. The closed luggage com-
partment lid must be flush with the surrounding auto body
parts.
Always keep the luggage compartment lid closed while driv-
ing to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle.
Never open the luggage compartment lid when a luggage
rack is installed and loaded. If, for example, there are bicycles
on a carrier on the luggage compartment lid, it is possible that
the lid will not be able to open automatically. An open luggage
compartment lid may fall on its own because of the additional
weight. If necessary, prop open the luggage compartment lid.
Remove the weight from the luggage rack first.
Close and lock the luggage compartment lid and all doors
when the vehicle is not in use. First, make sure that no one is
left inside the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play
around your vehicle, especially when the luggage compartment
lid is open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the
luggage compartment lid shut, becoming trapped and unable to
get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, de-
pending on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat
buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quick-
ly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, par-
ticularly to small children.
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves
behind in the vehicle. They may lock the vehicle with the vehi-
cle key or the power locking button and lock themselves in.

WARNING
If the luggage compartment lid is not closed properly, it may
open suddenly when the vehicle is moving and cause severe
injuries.
Stop immediately and close the luggage compartment lid.
Always make sure the luggage compartment lid is securely
latched after you close it.

WARNING
Improper or unsupervised unlocking or opening of the luggage

partment lid, it may be hard to see that the luggage compart-
ment lid is unlatched. An unlatched luggage compartment lid
may open suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
At temperatures below +32 °F (0 °C), the luggage compartment
lid may not open automatically after you unlock it. It will be necessary
to lift it by hand.
