·
Close and lock the boot lid and all vehi-
cle doors when the vehicle is not in use.
Ensure that no one remains in the vehi-
cle.
·
Never leave children playing unattended
in or around the vehicle, especially when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb
into the luggage compartment and shut
the boot lid, thereby trapping them-
selves inside. Temperatures inside
a locked vehicle may be extremely hot or
cold depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fa-
talities, especially among small children.
WARNING
Serious injuries can occur if the boot lid is
unlocked or opened incorrectly or without
due care and attention.
·
It may not always be apparent that the
boot lid is unlocked, for example when
a loaded luggage carrier is attached to it.
If unlocked, the boot lid may open sud-
denly while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
If there is a large amount of snow or
a heavy load on the boot lid, the boot lid
may lower by itself and cause serious inju-
ries due to the additional weight.
·
Never open the boot lid if it is covered
by a large amount of snow or a load is
attached to it, e.g. a luggage carrier.
·
Remove the snow or load before open-
ing the boot lid.
WARNING
Do not close the boot lid by pushing it
down with your hand on the window. The
rear window may shatter and cause inju-
ries.
NOTICE
Never use the opening mechanism to fix or
hold a load. This could lead to damage that
makes it impossible to close the boot lid.
NOTICE
Never use the rear window wiper or the rear
spoiler to fix or hold a load. This may result in
damage that causes the rear wiper or rear
spoiler to be torn off.
