WARNING

Careless manual opening and closing can cause serious injury.

If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and windows cannot be opened from the inside.

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

Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.

WARNING

The operating areas of the doors, tailgate and electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof are dangerous areas where injuries can be sustained.

Doors, tailgate and electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof should therefore only be opened or closed when nobody is in their operating area.

NOTICE

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