Doors
Introduction
The doors and rear lid can be locked man-
ually and partially opened, for example if the
key or the central locking is damaged.
WARNING
Opening and closing doors carelessly can
cause serious injury.
If the vehicle is locked from outside, the
●
doors and windows cannot be opened from
the inside.
Never leave children or disabled people
●
alone in the car. They could be trapped in
the car in an emergency and will not be
able to get themselves to safety.
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.
WARNING
Getting in the way of the doors and the rear
lid is dangerous and can lead to serious in-
jury.
Open and close the doors and the rear lid
●
only when there is nobody in the way.
