WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get
out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-

people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked with the key,
then the double lock function is activated as

function by deactivating the interior motion
sensor (

opened from the inside after the vehicle has
been locked from the outside. The anti-theft
alarm system is triggered if the door is
opened from the inside. Switch off the alarm
(
