Opening and closing
WARNING (Continued)
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing, otherwise, it may open un-
expectedly while driving. A closed rear lid should be flush with the corre-
sponding parts of the bodywork.
● Always keep the rear lid closed while driving to avoid toxic gases en-
tering the vehicle interior.
● Do not open the rear lid when there is a load installed, for example a
carrier system. Likewise, the tailgate cannot be opened when a load is at-
tached to it, for example bicycles. An open rear lid could close itself if
there is an additional weight on it. If necessary, press down on the rear
lid and remove the load.
● Close and lock both the rear lid and all the other doors when you are
not using the vehicle. Ensure that nobody remains inside the vehicle.
● Never allow children to play inside or around the vehicle without su-
pervision, especially if the rear lid is open. Children could enter the lug-
gage compartment, close the rear lid and become trapped. Depending on
the time of the year, temperatures inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting in serious injuries and ill-
ness or even death, particularly for young children.
● Never leave children or disabled people alone in the vehicle. If the ve-
hicle key or the central locking button is used, they may be locked in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before opening the rear lid, ensure that there is sufficient free space to
open and close it, for example if you are in a garage.
