Child lock
Fig. 74
Left door child lock.
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
from being opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It only
affects rear doors. It can only be activated and
deactivated manually, as described below.
Activating the childproof lock
●
Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which you wish to activate the childproof lock.
●
With the door open, turn the slot with
the vehicle key clockwise for the left doors

and anticlockwise for the right
doors.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the door
can only be opened from the outside.

Rear lid
Introduction
The rear lid unlocks and locks together with
the doors.
On vehicles with the Keyless Access start/lock-
ing system, the rear lid automatically unlocks
›››
when it is opened
page 88.
WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening and
closing of the rear lid can cause accidents
and serious injury.
●
Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with your hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
●
Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it may open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
●
Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
●
Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, exhaust gases may penetrate into the
interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
●
Never open the rear lid if there is cargo,
e.g. bicycles, attached to it. The rear lid may
close by itself due to the additional weight. If
necessary, remove the cargo first or hold the
rear lid.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended or al-
low children to play inside or next to it, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehi-
cle can reach extremely high and low tem-
peratures, depending on the time of year,
thus causing serious injuries, illness or even
death.
NOTICE
●
Before opening or closing the rear lid,
make sure that there is enough space to
open or close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or
in a garage.
●
Never use the rear wiper or rear spoiler to
secure cargo or as a handhold. This could
cause damage that could lead to the break-
age of the rear wiper or spoiler.
Note
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that
the key has not been left inside the luggage
compartment.
