This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the vehicle has been locked when all
doors are closed.
WARNING
Any door that is not properly closed could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead to severe or fatal injuries.
● Stop immediately as soon as traffic permits and close the door.
● Make sure that the door is closed properly and that the lock has engaged. The closed door must be flush with the surrounding body
panels.
WARNING
Any door being held open by the door arrester could close unexpectedly in strong winds or if the vehicle is on an uphill slope. This
could lead to serious injuries.
● Always hold the door handle firmly when opening and closing doors.
WARNING
Opening and closing the doors and boot lid without taking due care is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
● Open or close the doors and boot lid only when there is no-one in their movement path.
WARNING
The central locking system locks all doors. In the event of an emergency or an accident, locked doors can make it more difficult for
persons providing assistance to gain access to the vehicle interior. If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and electric
windows cannot be opened from the inside. There is a risk of serious or fatal injuries.
● Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING
All doors can be locked from the inside using the central locking button. This may mean that children, people requiring assistance or
animals lock themselves in the vehicle. In an emergency, they may not be able to leave the vehicle independently or to help
themselves. In addition, they could also be exposed to very high or low temperatures. There is a risk of serious or fatal injuries.
● Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.
NOTICE
Removing the caps without taking due care can damage the vehicle.
● When carrying out manual opening or closing, remove parts carefully and fit them again correctly.
Locking the vehicle from the inside can prevent accidental opening of the doors and unauthorised persons from entering the
vehicle.
