WARNING
Introduction to the topic
If the doors are blocked without paying attention,
it could cause serious injury.
It is possible to lock and partly unlock the doors
manually, e.g. For example, if the vehicle key or
central locking fails.
· When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the
Power doors and windows cannot be opened
from the inside.
Central locking allows you to unlock and lock all
doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap of the
vehicle centrally.
· Central locking locks all doors.
By locking the vehicle from the inside, it is
possible to prevent the inadvertent opening of
the doors and the entry of unauthorized persons.
In the event of an emergency or accident,
however, if the doors are locked, access to the
interior of the vehicle is made difficult and it is
difficult to provide the necessary help.
The vehicle can only be locked if the ignition is
switched off or if the driver has gotten out of the
vehicle with the engine off.
If any door is not properly closed, it is indicated on
the instrument panel display with a symbolic
representation. Do not continue the march! Open
the corresponding door and close it again.
· Never leave a child or anyone who may need help
alone inside the vehicle. With the central locking
button, all doors can be locked from inside the
vehicle, which can cause them to be locked in
the vehicle. People locked in the vehicle may be
exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
The display is also displayed with the ignition
switched off and goes out a few seconds after the
vehicle has been locked with the doors closed.
WARNING
· Depending on the season of the year, very high
or very low temperatures can be reached in a
closed vehicle, which can cause very serious
injuries and illnesses or even death, especially
to small children.
If a door is not properly closed, it could open
unexpectedly while driving and cause serious
injury.
· Stop the vehicle immediately and close the
door.
· Never leave anyone inside the locked vehicle. In
an emergency, she would not be able to get out
of the vehicle or take care of herself.
· When closing the door, make sure that it is fully
seated. The door should be flush with the
adjoining parts of the bodywork.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the vehicle, when performing

but.
WARNING
Some settings can be saved in the

vehicle is on an uphill grade, causing injury.
· When opening and closing the doors, always hold
them by the handle.
WARNING
The area of the travel of the doors and the
tailgate is dangerous and injuries can occur within
