WARNING
OHYK047009
Do not hold the part (gas lifter)
that supports the tailgate. Be
aware that the deformation of
the part may cause vehicle dam-
age and a risk of safety accident.
WARNING
•
NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the tailgate of the vehicle at
any time. If the luggage com-
partment is partially or totally
latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur due
to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The lug-
gage compartment is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle's crush zone.
•
Your vehicle should be kept
locked and keys should be kept
out of the reach of children.
Parents should teach their chil-
dren about the dangers of play-
ing in luggage compartment.
