Careless locking of the doors can cause se-
rious injuries.
x If the v

ehicle is locked from the outside,
the doors and electric windows cannot
be opened from the inside.
x The central locking system locks all
doors. Locking the vehicle from the in-
side can prevent accidental opening of
the doors and unauthorised persons
from entering the vehicle. However,
locked doors can delay assistance to
passengers inside the vehicle in the
event of an accident or emergency.
x Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors
can be locked from the inside using the
central locking button. This may mean
that people lock themselves in the vehi-
cle. People locked in the vehicle may be
subjected to very high or very low tem-
peratures.
x Temperatures inside a locked vehicle
may be extremely hot or cold depending
on the season. This can cause serious in-
juries and illness or fatalities, especially
among small children.
x Never leave anyone inside a locked vehi-
cle. People in the vehicle could become
trapped in an emergency and may not
be able to get themselves to safety. NOTICE
People who are locked in the vehicle can un-
lock the doors in an emergency by pulling the
door release le

ver forcefully twice. The lever
must be pulled beyond a noticeable resist-
ance in this case. NOTICE
When carrying out manual opening or clos-
ing, remo
ve parts carefully and install them

cle doors when the vehicle is not in use.
Ensure that no one remains in the vehi-
cle.
x Never leave children playing unattended
in or around the vehicle, especially when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb
into the luggage compartment and shut
the boot lid, thereby trapping them-
selves inside. Temperatures inside
a locked vehicle may be extremely hot or
cold depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fa-
talities, especially among small children. WARNING
Serious injuries can occur if the boot lid is
unlocked or opened incorrectly or without
due care and attention.
x It may not always be apparent that the
boot lid is unlocked, f

or example when
a loaded luggage carrier is attached to it.
If unlocked, the boot lid may open sud-
denly while the vehicle is in motion. WARNING
If there is a large amount of snow or
a hea
vy load on the boot lid, the boot lid
may lower by itself and cause serious inju-
ries due to the additional weight.
x Never open the boot lid if it is covered
by a large amount of snow or a load is
attached to it, e.g. a luggage carrier.
x Remove the snow or load before open-
ing the boot lid. WARNING
Do not close the boot lid by pushing it
down with your hand on the window. The
rear window may shatter and cause inju-
ries. NOTICE
Never use the opening mechanism to fix or
hold a load. This could lead to damage that
makes it impossible to close the boot lid. NOTICE
Never use the rear window wiper or the rear
spoiler to fix or hold a load. This may result in
damage that causes the rear wiper or rear
spoiler to be torn off
