Opening or closing the windows electrically
Serious injuries can occur if the tailgate is closed incorrectly or without due care and attention.
Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the tailgate is open. Children could climb into the luggage
compartment and shut the tailgate, thereby trapping themselves inside. Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or
cold, according to season. This could cause serious injuries or illness, or even have fatal consequences.
WARNING
Electric windows
Careless or unsupervised use of the electric windows can cause serious injuries.
The electric windows should only be opened or closed when you are sure that nobody is in their operating area.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the vehicle is locked. The windows can no longer be opened
in an emergency.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The windows can still be operated using the buttons several minutes
after the ignition has been switched off, provided that the driver door and front passenger door are not opened.
When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always be deactivated using the safety button so that
they cannot be opened or closed.
WARNING
During sudden rain showers, water can enter the vehicle interior via open windows and cause damage to the vehicle.
