WARNING
When the electric child safety function is acti-
vated, the sliding door can be opened from
the outside only.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the vehicle if the doors are to be
locked. Therefore, passengers will be locked
inside the vehicle. They could be trapped in
the car in an emergency and will not be able
to get themselves to safety. Individuals
locked in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
● 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.

Introduction
WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening and
closing of the rear lid can cause accidents

and serious injury.

● Open and close the rear lid only when no-
body is in the way.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. This
could break and cause injury.
Operation
Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing,
●
otherwise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with
the corresponding parts of the bodywork.
Always keep the rear lid closed while driv-
●
ing to avoid toxic gases entering the vehicle
interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a
load carrier installed. Likewise, the boot
hatch cannot be opened when a load is at-
tached to it, for example bicycles. An open
rear lid could close itself if there is an addi-
tional weight on it. If necessary, press down
on the rear lid and remove the load.
Close and lock both the rear lid and all the
●
other doors when you are not using the vehi-
cle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the
vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a
locked and closed vehicle can be extremely
high or extremely low resulting in serious in-
juries and illness or even death, particularly
for young children.
Never leave children or disabled people
●
alone in the vehicle. If the vehicle key or the
central locking button is used, they may be
locked in the vehicle.
