KEYS / REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS

1

Radio frequency remote control
locking unit,

ignition key, key for

doors, luggage compartment and
fuel filler flap.

If there is a child (or
animal) in the car, never
leave it unattended with
the key in the ignition.

With the key in the ignition it
would be possible to operate the
electrical equipment such as the
windows and there is a risk that the
child may be seriously injured (by
trapping his or her neck, arm,
hand, etc.).
