ARNING
• After closing the rear lid, always
pull up on it to make sure that it is
properly closed. Otherwise it
could open suddenly when the ve­
hicle is moving.
This is especially important if you
are trav elling with a child sitting
on the additional rear child seat
bench*.
• To help prevent poisonous ex­
haust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle, always keep the rear
lid closed while driving. Never
tra nsport objects larger than
those fitting completely into the
luggage area, because the rear lid
cannot be fully closed. �,
WARNING continued
• Never leave your vehicle unat­
tended 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 per­
sonal injury, never let children play
in or around your vehicle. Always
keep the rear lid, as well as the ve­
hicle doors, closed when not in
use.
Keep the rear lid locked at all times
to prevent unauthorized access to
the vehicle.
For further information see "Luggage
compartment" on page 88.

Remote rear lid release
�
You can open the rear lid from inside the ve­
hicle. This feature is very useful when, for
example, the lock cylinder in the rear lid has
froze n.
• To unlock rear lid, open driver's door and
press switch in the door pillar (see illustra­
tion).
• To open luggage compartment raise rear
lid. The
remote rear lid release is deactivated
automatically if you lock the rear lid. This en­
ables the driver to lock the luggage
compartment permanently with the key, if
access by other persons is not wanted.
For example, if you should take your vehicle
to a workshop, lock the luggage compart­
ment separately with the master key (lock
in the horizontal position). We recommend
you use the valet key if you have to leave
your vehicle at the workshop. I

HICLE CARE
Adding coolant
� WARNING
The cooling system is under pres­
sura and can get very hot. Reduce
the risk of scalding from hot cool­
ant by following these steps.
• Turn off the engine and allow it
to cool down.
• Protect face, hands and arms es­
caping fluid and steam by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag.
• Turn the cap slowly and very
care fully in a counter--clockwise di­
rection while applying light, down­
ward pressure on the top of the
cap.
• To help avoid being burned, do
not spill antifreeze or coolant on
the exhaust system or hot engine
parts. Under some conditions, the
ethylene glycol in engine coolant
can catch fire.
240 If,
in an emergency, only water can be add­
ed, the correct ratio between water and an­
tifreeze (see page 238) must be restored as
soon as possible.
If you have lost a considerable amount of
coolant. then you should add cold antifreeze
and cold water only when the engine is cold.
Do not fill coolant above the "MAX"
mark.
Note
Coolant pollutes the environment
and could cause an engine fire. Ex­
cess coolant will be forced out
through the pressure relief valve in
the cap when the engine becomes
hot. Screw cap
on again tightly.
� WARNING
Antifreeze is poisonous. Always
store antifreeze in its original con­
tainer and well out of the reach of
children. If you drain the coolant,
it must be caught and safely
stored in a proper container
clearly marked "poison ...
<£> Drained coolant should not be
reused. Always dispose of used
coolant observing all env ironmen­
tal regulations.
Always heed all WARNINGS
on page 232.
