Pets in the vehicle

WARNING
If you leave animals unattended or unse-
cured in the vehicle, they could press but-
tons or switches, for example.
As a result, they could:
activate vehicle equipment and become
R
trapped, for example
activate or deactivate systems, thereby
R
endangering other road users
Unsecured animals could also be flung
around the vehicle in the event of an acci-
dent or sudden steering or braking, thereby
injuring vehicle occupants. There is a risk
of an accident and injury.
Never leave animals unattended in the
vehicle. Always secure animals properly
during the journey, e.g. use a suitable ani-
mal transport box.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the
Smart Key with you and lock the vehicle. The
engine can be started by anyone with a valid
Smart Key that is left inside the vehicle.

when you start the engine.

ted when the starter battery is fully
