the vehicle, let alone leave the vehicle
with the doors unlocked in a place that
children can access easily. Children may
seriously, or even fatally, injure themselves.

inadvertently operate the electric parking
brake, the brake pedal or the automatic
transmission lever.

actuated, doors cannot be opened from
inside; for this reason, make sure there are
no persons left inside the vehicle.
WARNING

a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle.
Once it has been left inside, the key can be
collected only using the second key
supplied with the vehicle.3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery
in the electronic key and the presence
of metal objects near the key or the vehicle.
In these cases it is still possible to unlock
the doors by using the metal insert in
