can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on
the time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness. It could even have
fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other doors
when you are not using the vehicle.

of the keys, for example, by children, may result in serious damage and
accident.

−
If the ignition is switched on, the electric equipment could be acti-
vated with risk of injury, for example, in the electric windows.
−
The doors can be locked using the remote control key. This could
make assistance difficult in an emergency situation.
−

the vehicle.
