• Obtain medical assistance immediately if you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.

WARNING

Always take care when using the vehicle key otherwise you could cause accidents or injuries.

• Always take all vehicle keys with you each time you leave the vehicle. Children or unauthorised persons could lock the doors and tailgate, start the start the engine, switch on the ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.

• 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, for example, 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.

• Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.
