¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and

heed the WARNINGS

The child safety lock keeps the rear doors from being opened from

the inside, so that children cannot open them accidentally. When the

child safety lock is engaged, the rear doors can only be opened from

the outside.

Engaging or disengaging child safety lock

Unlock the vehicle and open the respective rear door.

Using the emergency key, move the slot into the desired position.

Slot position ⇒ꢀfig. 31 or ⇒ꢀfig. 32:

(A) Child safety lock disengaged.

(B) Child safety lock engaged.

WARNING

When the child safety lock is engaged, that rear door cannot be

opened from the inside.

Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-

not help themselves, in the vehicle when locking the doors.

This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This

could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emer-

gency. 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, depend-

ing 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.
