CAUTION
Using the luggage compartment
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the rear hatch before open-
●
ing it. Failure to do so may cause the rear hatch to fall closed again after it is
opened.
When opening or closing the rear hatch, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-
●
rounding area is safe.
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the rear
●
hatch is about to open or close.
Use caution when opening or closing the rear hatch in windy weather as it may
●
move abruptly in strong wind.
Do not attach any accessories to the rear hatch. Such additional weight on the
●
rear hatch may cause the rear hatch to fall closed again after it is opened.
1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
The rear hatch may fall if it is not opened
●
fully. It is more difficult to open or close the
rear hatch on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the rear hatch unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the rear hatch is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
When closing the rear hatch, take extra
●
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
When closing the rear hatch, make sure to
●
press it lightly on its outer surface.
