• Call for medical help immediately you sus­
pect that someone has swallowed a battery.
A WARNING . .,~
Improper or unsupervised use of the vehicle
key can cause accidents or injuries.
• Always take all vehicle keys with you ev­
ery time you leave the vehicle. Children or
unauthorised persons could lock the doors
and tailgate, start the engine or switch on the
ignition and thus operate electrical equip­
ment, such as the electric windows.
• Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle. They could
become trapped in the vehicle in an emergen­
cy and may not be able to get themselves to
safety. Depending on the time of year, for ex­
ample, locked vehicles can be subjected to
very high or very low temperatures. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatali­
ties, especially for small children.
• Never remove the vehicle key from the ig­
nition Jock when the vehicle is in motion. The
steering Jock may be activated and you will
no longer be able to steer the vehicle. Fig. 23 Vehicle ke y w ith alarm butto n
