Exhaust fumes could enter the vehicle inte-

is open. This could poison you. You should
therefore make sure that the tailgate is
always closed when the engine is running.

The tailgate swings upwards and to the
rear when opened. Therefore, make sure
that there is sufficient clearance above and
behind the tailgate.
