WARNING
If you open the rear-end doors 90°, the rear
lighting systems 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 accident.
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
triangle, for instance. Exterior lighting
