and enable operation of the vehicle sys­
tems such as power window or power sun­
roof leading to serious personal injury.
(D Tips
- Th e veh icle cannot be started if an unau­
thorized key is used. The vehicle may not
start if another radio device such as a key .,.

-Do not leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised. In an emergency it would
be impossible to open the doors from

those which fit completely into the lug­
gage area, because then the rear lid can­
not be fully closed.
Opening and closing 39

pecially 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 in­
jury, 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.
- 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 up­
per and lower edges - fingers or hands
can be pinched .
- Never try to interfere with the rear lid or
help it when it is being opened or closed

the garage ceiling when opening and be­
come damaged.

ately . Check to see why the rear lid could
not be closed before attempting to close
it again .
