WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
is heavily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due to
the extra weight and cause serious injury.
● Never open the rear lid when there is a lot
of snow on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
● Before opening the rear lid, remove the
snow or the load.
WARNING
If the rear lid is closed incorrectly or without
due care, it could result in serious injury.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended or allow
children to play inside or next to it, especially
if the rear lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the rear lid
and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
reach extremely high and low temperatures,
depending on the time of year, thus causing
serious injuries, illness or even death.
CAUTION
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
90, the sys-
sure that there is enough space to open or
close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a ga-
rage.
