DANGER
Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm or other lithium batteries 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.

WARNING
Improper 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 unauthorised persons could lock the doors and tailgate, start the
engine, 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.
