Indicator light in the driver door
Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS →
Introduction
The indicator light for the power locking system is in the driver door
→ Passenger compartment .
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves
behind in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside
with the power lock button. This could leave people trapped in
the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time of year,
people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or
very low temperatures.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending
on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup 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.
Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an
emergency any person still inside the vehicle might not be able
to get out.
