HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Front doors
From the outside, the key can be used to
lock and unlock the driver’s door and the
front passenger door. When these doors
are opened, the safety button pops up;
when they are closed, it pops down.
The passenger’s door can be locked from
the outside without using a key; just
press down the button and close.
The safety button on the driver’s door can-
not be pressed down while the door is
open. The reason for this is to prevent the
possibility of locking the keys inside the
car, i.e., in the ignition.
From the inside, the front doors can be
locked by pressing down the respective
safety buttons.
While the safety knob is down the front
doors cannot be opened, neither from the
inside nor from the outside.
While driving, the safety buttons should
not be pressed down so that, in case of
emergency, it will be easy to help the
occupants inside the vehicle.
Warning
Locking the doors in this way can
prevent them from opening in the
event of an accident.
It further prevents the entry of
intruders when, for example, the
car is standing at traffic lights. The
disadvantage, on the other hand,
is that outside help in cases of an
emergency is also hindered.
Note
The front door lock cylinders have a free-
wheel mechanism (rotates inside the
cylinder)*. When the lock cylinder is
manipulated with any object similar to a
key, the free wheeling is activated. The
cylinder only “rotates freely” without
opening the vehicle. This free wheeling
also occurs when the key is not fully intro-
duced into the lock cylinder.
