When opening or closing the trunk
●
lid, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
If anyone is in the vicinity, make
●
sure they are safe and let them
know that the trunk is about to open
or close.
Use caution when opening or clos-
●
ing the trunk lid in windy weather as
it may move abruptly in strong wind.

so beware of the trunk lid unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the trunk lid is fully
open and secure before using the
trunk.
●
When closing the trunk lid, take
extra care to prevent your fingers
etc. from being caught.
When closing the trunk lid, make
●
sure to press it lightly on its outer
surface.
