Childproof lock Fig. 105
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door 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.
De

activating 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 by 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 c lo

se the rear lid by pushing it down
with your 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
load.
● Close 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.

alone in the v
ehicle. If the vehicle key or the » 99

 page 11
The sliding/tilting sunroof only works when
switched on. After switching off, it is still pos-
sible to open or close the sliding/tilting sun-
roof during a short space of time provided
that neither the driver nor passenger door is
opened.
All operations are interrupted when the rotary
knob is actuated.
If it were not possible to close the sliding/tilt-
ing sunroof electrically, it would need to be
closed manually. It is not possible to do an
emergency close of the sliding/tilting sun-
roof without removing components of the ve-
hicle. In such a case, obtain professional as-
sistance.
Sliding blind
With the roof grab handle situated in the rear
part of the roof opening, it is possible to
move the sliding blind to the required posi-
tion. WARNING
If the sliding/tilting electric panoramic sun-
roof i

s used negligently or without paying
due attention, it can cause serious injury.
● The sliding/tilting sunroof should only be
opened or closed when no one i
s blocking its
path.
● After switching off, it is still possible to
open or close the s
liding/tilting sunroof dur-
ing a short space of time provided that nei-
ther the driver nor passenger door is opened. CAUTION
● To pr ev

ent damage, when there are winter
temperatures any ice or snow that there may
be on the roof of the vehicle must be removed
before opening or raising the sliding/tilting
electric panoramic sunroof.
● Before leaving the vehicle or in the case of
heavy r
ain, the sliding/tilting sunroof must
always be closed. With the sliding/tilting
sunroof open or raised, water can enter the
passenger compartment and can cause con-
siderable damage to the electrical system. As
a result, other damage can occur in the vehi-
cle.
● In the case of heavy rain, if the sliding/tilt-
ing su
nroof is open, the interior equipment of
the vehicle may get wet, destroying the seat
heating and damaging the electrical system
of the vehicle. Note
● Le av

es and other loose objects that land in
the guides of the sliding/tilting sunroof
should be removed periodically by hand or
using a vacuum cleaner.
● If the sliding/tilting sunroof does not work
correctly
, the anti-trap function will not work
either. In this case, you should take the vehi-
cle to a specialised workshop.
