Vehicle key set
Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm, or other button cells, can result in severe or even fatal injuries within a very short period of time.
Always keep the vehicle key, key ring with batteries, spare batteries, round cells and other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of the
reach of children.
Call for medical help immediately you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.
DANGER
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or third parties could lock the doors and tailgate, start the
engine or switch on the ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and
may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures,
according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer
be able to steer the vehicle.
