Opening and closing
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr om bein
g opened fr
om the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which y

ou wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin

g the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left-hand side doors ››› Fig. 105
and clockwise for the right-hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock – Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose chi

ldproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin

g the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the right-hand side doors, and
clockwise for the left-hand side doors
››› Fig. 105.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside. The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivated b

y inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Rear lid Introduction WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening and
clo s

ing of the rear lid can cause accidents
and serious injury.
● Open and close the rear lid only when no-
body is
in the way.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with y
our hand on the rear window. This
could break and cause injury.
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing,
otherwi
se, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with
the corresponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driv-
ing to av
oid toxic gases entering the vehicle
interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a
load in
stalled, for example a carrier system.
Likewise, the boot hatch cannot be opened
when a load is attached to it, for example bi-
cycles. An open rear lid could close itself if
there is an additional weight on it. If necessa- ry, press down on the rear lid and remove the
loa
d.
● C

lose and lock both the rear lid and all the
other doors when
you are not using the vehi-
cle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the
vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the
vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a
locked and closed vehicle can be extremely
high or extremely low resulting in serious in-
juries and illness or even death, particularly
for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the v
ehicle. If the vehicle key or the
central locking button is used, they may be
locked in the vehicle. CAUTION
Before opening the rear lid, ensure that there
is s

ufficient free space to open and close it,
for example if you are in a garage. 99
