Child lock
Fig.77 Left door child lock.
The child lock prevents the rear doors being
opened from the inside. Its function is to pre-
vent children from inadvertently opening a sin-
gle door while the vehicle is in motion.
This function is separate from the vehicle's
electronic unlocking/locking systems. It only
works on the rear doors. It can only be acti-
vated and deactivated manually, as described
below.
Activating the child lock
●
Unlock the vehicle and open the door on
which the child safety lock is to be activated.
●
With the door open, turn the slot with
the vehicle key clockwise for the left doors
›››Fig.77 and anticlockwise for the right
doors.
When the child lock is activated, the doors can
only be opened from the outside.
Deactivating the child lock
●
Unlock the vehicle and open the door from
which you want to remove the child lock.
●
With the door open, turn the slot with the
vehicle key anticlockwise for the left doors
›››Fig.77 and clockwise for the right doors.
WARNING
The doors cannot be opened from the inside
when the child lock is activated. This means
that people may be locked inside the vehi-
cle. In an emergency, they may not be able
to leave the vehicle independently or save
themselves.
●
Never leave children or persons in need of
assistance unattended in the vehicle when
the doors are locked.
WARNING
If children, persons requiring assistance or
animals are left unattended inside the vehi-
cle, they could be exposed to very high or
very low temperatures. There is a risk of seri-
ous or fatal injuries.

assistance or animals unattended in the vehi-
cle.
