The doors, the luggage compartment lid, and the power sunroof can be manually locked and, in some

In an emergency
WARNING
Serious injuries can result if the emergency closing and opening procedures are used
carelessly.
x
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves in the
vehicle. The doors can be locked with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in
people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
x
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly
in the summer, heat build-up in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures.
Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death,
particularly to small children.
WARNING
Careless opening and closing of doors, the luggage compartment lid, and the power sunroof
is dangerous and can cause serious personal injury.
x
Open or close doors, the luggage compartment lid, and the power sunroof only when no
one is in the way.
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage, carefully remove and properly reinstall parts after emergency
locking or unlocking.
