WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury. Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked with the key,
the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate
the double lock function by deactivating the
interior motion sensor (Y page 83). The doors
can then be opened from the inside after the vehicle has been locked from the outside. You
can open the rear doors from inside the vehi- cle if they are not secured by the child-proof
locks (Y page 71). The anti-theft alarm system
is triggered if the door is opened from the
inside. Switch off the alarm (Y page 81). Unlocking and opening the doors

gate. Never drive with the tailgate open. G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The tailgate swings upwards and to the
rear when opened. Therefore, make sure
that there is sufficient clearance above and behind the tailgate.

is stopped. If the tailgate is stopped during
the closing process, the tailgate automati-
cally opens again slightly. The automatic
obstacle recognition with reversing function
is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your
attentiveness when opening and closing the
tailgate. G

R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 8 mm of the closing path
