.&,. WARNING
- Pay careful attention when closing the lug­
gage compartment lid. Otherwise, you could
cause serious injury to yourself or others de­
spite the pinch protection.
- To reduce the risk of pinching injuries, al­
ways make sure that no one is in the operat­
ing area of the luggage compartment lid ; in­
cluding the hinge areas and the upper and
lower edge of the luggage compartment lid .
- Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
can enter the vehicle interior and create the
risk of asphyxiation.
- If there is a luggage rack (such as a bicycle
rack) on the luggage compartment lid, the
luggage compartment lid may not open
completely under certain circumstances or it
could close by itself if open due to the extra
weight. To reduce the risk of injury, the open luggage compartment lid must there­
fore have additional support or the cargo
must first be removed from the rack.
