WARNING
Always take care when using the SAFELOCK as you could cause serious injuries.

Never leave anybody in the vehicle if the vehicle has been locked using the vehicle key. The
doors can no longer be opened from the inside once the SAFELOCK is activated.
If you unlock the driver door mechanically using the vehicle key, only the driver door is
unlocked, and not the whole vehicle. The doors are released (but not unlocked) and the
central locking button is activated only when you switch on the ignition.
