WARNING
Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the tailgate
open, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
which can cause serious injury
or death to vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the tail-
gate open, keep the air vents
and all windows open so that
additional outside air comes
into the vehicle.
The tailgate lid should be
always kept completely closed
whilst the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous
exhaust gases may enter the
car and serious illness or death
may result.
