cally once you have left zone  1.
Note: the distance at which the vehicle 
locks depends on the surroundings.

when parking or stopping 
the vehicle

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
