WARNING
- Never close the rear lid inattentively or without
checking first. Although the closing
force of the rear lid is limited, you can still
seriously injure yourself or others.
- Always ensure that no one is within range of
the rear lid when it is moving, in particular
close to the hinges and the upper and lower
edges - fingers or hands can be pinched.
- To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep
the rear lid closed while driving. Never
transport objects larger than those which fit
completely into the luggage area, because
then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended especially
with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut, becoming
trapped and unable to get out. To reduce
the risk of personal injury, never let children
play in or around your vehicle. Always keep
the rear lid as well as the vehicle doors
closed when not in use.
- If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be able
to open completely or an opened rear lid
may close by itself because of the added
weight. So the open rear lid must be supported
or the weight must be removed from
the luggage rack first.
