inside the vehicle. Remember, when you
lock the vehicle from the outside the win­

sengers (children, for examp le) from acci­
dentally being locked in the vehicle should
they accidentally press the power locking
switch in the doors.

supervised. In an emergency it would be im­
possible to open the doors from the outside

- Do not leave valuables unattended in the ve­
hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
