Important safety notes
G
WARNING
When opening the side panel lock, the drop-
side may drop downwards. This is particularly
the case when it is subjected to a load and is
therefore under increased strain. There is a
danger of injury.
Before opening, make sure that no persons
are in the swinging range of the dropside.
Always open the side panel lock laterally from
the dropside to be opened. Be particularly
careful if the side panel latches cannot be
released using the normal amount of force.
G
WARNING
The rear exterior lighting is concealed when
the tailgate is opened. This could cause other
road users to fail to recognise the vehicle in
time. There is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that the vehicle is safeguarded at
the rear in accordance with national legal
requirements, e.g. with a warning triangle.
