fr

om 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 activa-
ted 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, rotate the groove in the
door using the ignition key, anti-clockwise
for the left-hand side doors
›››
Fig. 106 and
clockwise for the right-hand side doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock
–
Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose childproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
–
With the door open, rotate the groove in the
door using the ignition key, anti-clockwise
for the right-hand side doors, and clock-
wise for the left-hand side doors

Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside.
The childproof lock can be activated or de-
activated by inserting the key in the groove

Rear lid
Introduction
WARNING
Careless and unsuitable locking, opening
and closing of the rear lid can cause acci-
dents and serious injury.
●
Open and cl
ose the rear lid only when
nobody 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.
●
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 body-
work.
●
Always keep the rear lid closed while
driving to avoid toxic gases entering the ve-
hicle interior.
●
Do not open the rear lid when there is a
load installed, for example a carrier sys-
tem. Likewise, the boot hatch cannot be
opened when a load is attached to it, for
example bicycles. An open rear lid could
close itself if there is an additional weight
on it. If necessary, press down on the rear
lid and remov
e the load.
●
Close and lock both the rear lid and all
the other doors when you are not using the
vehicle. Ensure that nobody remains inside
the vehicle.
●
Never allow children to play inside or
around the vehicle without supervision, es-
pecially if the rear lid is open. Children
could enter the luggage compartment,
close the rear lid and become trapped. De-
pending on the time of the year, tempera-
tures inside a locked and closed vehicle
can be extremely high or extremely low re-
sulting in serious injuries 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.
CAUTION
Before opening the rear lid, ensure that
there is sufficient free space t
o open and
close it, for example if you are in a garage.
