& DANGER Risk of exhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the boot

Always switch off the engine before
#
opening the boot lid.
Never drive with the boot lid open.

above the vehicle
The boot lid swings upwards when it is
opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is suffi-
#
cient clearance above the boot lid.
With the boot lid unlocked, press the top of
