GWARNING
If you open the rear doors 90°, the rear lights are no longer visible. The vehicle will then be
difficult for other road users to see or will not
be seen by them at all, particularly if it is dark
or visibility is poor. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
You should therefore ensure in this and simi-
lar situations that the vehicle is visible from
the rear in accordance with the relevant
national regulations, by using the warning tri-
angle, for instance.
