Operating the back door

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before open-
●
ing it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly shut again after it is
opened.
When opening or closing the back door, 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 back
●

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
The back door may suddenly shut if it is not
●
opened fully. It is more difficult to open or
close the back door on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the back door
unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the back door is fully open
and secure before using the luggage com-
partment.
When closing the back door, take extra
●
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
When closing the back door, make sure to
●
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
back door handle is used to fully close the
back door, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.
