Exiting the vehicle in an emergency

the locks in the door hinges of the gullwing
doors are opened pyrotechnically. You will
hear a bang when this happens. Once the
locks were opened, the doors are pushed
outward. The door locks are released at the
same time. The SRS warning lamp 6
comes on.

The hinge locks will be opened

pyrotechnically only when the vehicle has
come to rest on its roof and does not move
anymore.

The doors can then be moved by pulling on
the door handle from the inside or outside.
