tery. For the sake of the environment

Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for exam-
ple at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for res-
cuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency - danger to life! Note
■ Lock the opened rear doors and front passenger door by closing them and
pressing the securing knob. ■ It is not possible to lock the opened driver's door using the securing knob. This
prevents against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle. Ð
