Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm, or other button cells, can result in severe or even fatal injuries within a very short period of time.
Always keep the vehicle key, key ring with batteries, spare batteries, round cells and other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of the
reach of children.
Call for medical help immediately you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.
DANGER
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or third parties could lock the doors and tailgate, start the
engine or switch on the ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, 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 emergency and
may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures,
according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer
be able to steer the vehicle.

Warning lamp
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
Lit upPossible causeAction
The tailgate is open or not properly closed.
Do not drive on!
Open the tailgate and close it again.
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is switched on. They will go out after a few
seconds.
A warning lamp appears in the instrument cluster display if the tailgate is open or not properly closed.
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the tailgate can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Therefore the tailgate should only be opened or closed when you are sure there is no-one in its path.
Never close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the window. The rear window could shatter and cause injuries.
After closing the tailgate, check to make sure that it is closed and locked correctly so that it does not open while the vehicle is in motion. The
closed tailgate must be flush with the surrounding body panels.
Always keep the tailgate closed while the vehicle is in motion so that no toxic exhaust fumes can enter the vehicle interior.
Never open the tailgate if there is a load attached to it, e.g. a rack or luggage carrier. It may also not possible to open the tailgate if there are
objects attached to it, e.g. bicycles. The additional load might cause the open tailgate to close by itself. Support the tailgate as necessary or
remove the load from the surface.
Close and lock the tailgate and all vehicle doors when the vehicle is not in use. Make sure there is no-one left in the vehicle.
Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the tailgate is open. Children could climb into the luggage
compartment and shut the tailgate, thereby trapping themselves inside. Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or
cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially to small children.
WARNING
Before opening the tailgate, please check that there is enough space to open and close the tailgate, e.g. when towing a trailer or when in a
garage.
NOTICE
Never use the gas-filled strut or the rear spoiler (depending on the equipment level of the vehicle) to fix or hold a load. This could result in
damage preventing closure of the tailgate, or could even lead to the rear spoiler being ripped off.
