Stop immediately and close the door.
When closing the door, make sure it engages securely and completely. When closed, the door must be flush with the areas of the vehicle body that are
around the door.
Do not open or close the doors if anyone is in the way.
WARNING
When the door is being held open by the door arrester, it may close by itself in high winds or on inclines, which can cause injuries.
Always hold the door handle firmly when opening and closing the door.
WARNING
The area within the range of motion for the doors and trunk lid can be dangerous and there is the potential for injuries.
Do not open or close the doors and trunk lid if anyone is in the way.
WARNING
Locking the doors carelessly can cause serious injuries.
When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and power windows cannot be opened from the inside.
The central locking system locks all the doors. When the vehicle is locked from the inside, it reduces the risk of opening the doors unintentionally and of
unauthorized people entering the vehicle. In case of an emergency or an accident, locked doors can make it more difficult for first responders to access
the vehicle interior to help the passengers.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside using the central locking button. This can result
in locking yourself inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the vehicle could be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
Depending on the season, the temperature inside the vehicle could become very high or low, which can lead to serious injuries, illness or death,
especially for very young children.
Never leave anyone in a locked vehicle. In an emergency, these people may not be able to exit the vehicle without assistance or help themselves.
NOTICE
When using the emergency locking or emergency unlocking feature, remove and reinstall the affected parts carefully and correctly to reduce the risk of vehicle
damage.
