accident.
Always close all the windows and
Panorama sunroof/moonroof, lock
the doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate
and take the key with you when

liftgate, always verify that they are
securely closed.

when parked on an incline before
opening/closing the doors. Neglecting
to check the conditions around the
vehicle could result in fingers getting
caught in the door or a passing
pedestrian being hi t, resulting in an
