cle doors and the rear lid when you drive faster

remote master
key or convenience key*
until all doors and the
rear lid are closed . In this way you avoid locking
yourself out accidentally.

sengers (children, for example) from acci
dentally being locked in the vehicle should

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