Any door that is not properly closed could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead to severe injuries.

Stop as soon as possible and close the door.

Doors should only be opened or closed when you are sure there is no-one in their path.

Introduction

The childproof lock prevents the rear doors from being opened from the inside, e.g. so that children cannot open the doors accidentally while the

vehicle is in motion. When the childproof lock is activated the door can only be opened from the outside.

Switching the childproof lock on and off

Unlock the vehicle and open the appropriate rear door.

Fold the key bit out of the vehicle key → Vehicle key set ꢀ .

Use the key bit to turn the slot to the required position.

WARNING

When the childproof lock is activated, the door cannot be opened from the inside.

Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the doors are locked. This may mean that these people lock

themselves in the vehicle. They could become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety.

People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures.

Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness

or fatalities, especially to small children.
