WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the back door is fully closed.
If the back door is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driv-ing and hit near-by objects or lug-
gage in the luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident.
●Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could get heat exhaustion or other
