Introduction
The doors, rear lid and panoramic sliding
sunroof can be locked manually and partially
opened, for example if the key or the central
locking is damaged.

Opening and closing doors carelessly can
cause serious injury.
Emergencies
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, temper-
atures inside a locked and closed vehicle 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 pan-
oramic sliding sunroof is dangerous and can
lead to serious injury.
● Open and close the doors and the panor-
amic sliding sunroof only when nobody is in
the way.

carefully disassemble components and then
reassemble them carefully to avoid damage
