Opening and closing
Central locking
Introduction
Central locking functions correctly when all
the doors and the rear lid are correctly shut. If
the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be
locked with the key.
The battery of an unlocked vehicle parked for
a long period (e.g. in a private garage) may
run down and fail to start the motor.
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking
system may cause serious injuries.
The central locking system will lock all
●
doors. A vehicle locked from the inside can
prevent any non-authorised individual from
opening the doors and accessing the vehi-
cle. Nevertheless, in case of emergency or
accident, locked doors will complicate ac-
cess to the vehicle interior to help the pas-
sengers.
Never leave children or disabled people
●
alone in the vehicle. The central locking
button can be used to lock all the doors
from within. Therefore, passengers will be
locked inside the vehicle. Individuals locked
in the vehicle can be exposed to very high
or very low temperatures.
Depending on the time of the year, tem-
●
peratures inside a locked and closed vehi-
cle can be extremely high or extremely low
resulting in serious injuries and illness or
even death, particularly for young children.
Never leave individuals locked in a closed
●
and locked vehicle. In case of emergency,
they may not be able to exit the vehicle by
themselves or get help.
