Opening and closing
-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

then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended espe­

ing trapped and unable to get out. To re­
duce the risk of personal injury, never let

ways 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 sup­
ported or the weight must be removed from
the luggage rack first.
(D Tips

trailer socket is completed on vehicles with
a factory installed towing hitch, or a trailer
hitch that was installed later according to
factory specifications, the automatic rear lid
funct ion can only be operated via the handle

certain level, you can still open or close the
rear lid manually, however, you will need to
apply more force to close it.

with the middle button
.::::::5 on the remote

(D Note
- Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spheri­
cal") increase your field of v iew . Remember
that vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when seen in
a flat mirror . If you use th is m irror to esti­
ma te distances of following vehicles when
changing lanes, yo u could estimate incor­
rectly and cause an a ccident.
- If the mir ror housing is moved unin tention­
ally (for example, wh ile pa rking yo ur vehi­

electrica lly. Do not read just the mirror
hous ing manua lly. You could damage the

- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, yo u m ust fold the exterior m irrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors. Never fold power folding exterior m irrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
the power contro ls .
