To unlock and open the doors
When the vehicle is moving, do
not lock the doors with their lock

Children might be able to lock the doors
from the inside. For this reason, take
the vehicle's keys with you so that the
vehicle can be opened again from the
outside at any time.<
The fuel filler door also remains un-

When the low beams are switched
on, the interior door handles are

system will secure the locks as
soon as you start to drive. This can be
adjusted to be key-specific.<
