When opening or closing the trunk lid,
thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure
they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
Use caution when opening or closing
the trunk lid in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
On an incline it is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid than on a
level surface, so beware of the trunk lid
unexpectedly opening or closing by
itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is
fully open and secure before using the
trunk.
When opening the trunk lid, take care
so that it does not hit anyone in the
face or any other part of the body.
When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the trunk grip is used to fully close the
trunk lid, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.
