Adding things on the
rear window shelf or the

etc.) can interfere with the cor-
rect operation of the tailgate side
gas-struts.
Follow the laws in force
if you are travelling in ar-
eas where refuelling is dif-
ficult and you want to carry a can
of petrol. Use a homologated can
only and secure it to the load an-
choring hooks. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
