Important safety notes
Important safety notes Do not leave the SmartKey in the cargo compartment. You could otherwise lock yourself out
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock. Always take
the SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system, and do not give them access
to an unlocked vehicle. A child's unsupervised
access to a vehicle could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. They could:
• injure themselves on vehicle parts
• be seriously or fatally injured by
extreme
heat or cold
• injure themselves or have an
accident with
vehicle equipment that may still be in
operation even after the SmartKey has
been removed from the ignition, such as the
seat adjustment, steering wheel
adjustment or memory function.
If children open a door, they could cause
severe or even fatal injury to other persons; if
they get out of the vehicle, they could injure
themselves when doing so or be seriously or
even fatally injured by any passing traffic.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system's
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and a child could be burned on these
parts.
WARNING
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the
passenger compartment or cargo
compartment unless they are firmly secured
in place.
Unsecured or improperly positioned cargo
increases a child's risk of injury in the event
of
• strong braking maneuvers
• sudden changes of direction
• an accident
WARNING
Make sure the tailgate is closed when the
engine is running and while driving. Among
other dangers, deadly carbon monoxide (CO)
gases may enter vehicle interior resulting in
unconsciousness and death.
The tailgate swings upwards and to the rear when opened. Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient clearance above and behind the tailgate.
To open the tailgate completely, a minimum clearance of 7.40 ft (2.25 m) above the ground is necessary.
You can:
• open and close the tailgate manually
from
outside
• open and close the tailgate automatically
from outside
• open and close the tailgate automatically
from inside
• open the tailgate manually from inside
• limit the opening angle of the tailgate
