depending on the season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the
case of small children.

WARNING
Serious injuries could occur if the boot lid is unlocked or opened incorrectly or without due care and
attention.
The boot lid may not always be detected as being unlocked if there is a carrier and items attached to

luggage carrier.
Remove the snow or load before opening the boot lid.
