WARNING

Careless manual opening and closing can cause serious injury.

• If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and windows will not be able to be opened from the inside.

• Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the car. They could become trapped in the car in an emergency and will not be able to get themselves to safety.

• Depending on the time of year, a locked vehicle can be subjected to very high or very low temperatures. This could cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.

WARNING

The path of the doors, the tailgate and panoramic sliding roof is a dangerous area. Injuries could be sustained here.

• Therefore doors, the tailgate and the panoramic sliding roof should only be opened or closed when nobody is in their path.

NOTICE

When carrying out manual closing or opening, remove and install parts carefully in order to avoid damage to the vehicle.
