Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from
the inside using the central locking button. This may mean that people lock themselves in the
vehicle. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures.
Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may become extremely hot or cold, depending on the season.
This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.
Never leave anyone inside a locked vehicle. People in the vehicle could become trapped in an
emergency and will not be able to get themselves to safety.
NOTICE
When carrying out manual opening or closing, remove parts carefully and install them again
correctly in order to avoid damage to the vehicle.
