Opening and closing
& WARNING (continued)
• 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.
