WARNING
Unsuitable or careless closing and locking of
the rear lid could cause serious injuries.
Never allow children to play inside or
●
around the vehicle without supervision, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low
temperatures, depending on the time of year,
resulting in serious injuries/illness or even
death.

It is possible that the rear lid does not open
completely or, if it is open, closes alone if a
large amount of snow has built up on it or if a
luggage rack is fitted. In this case, the rear lid
must be supported.
CAUTION
When using a trailer, ensure that there is
●
sufficient space to open and close the rear
lid.
Before opening the rear lid, any kind of
●
equipment carrier should be removed, for ex-
ample a bicycle carrier.
CAUTION
In case of repeated short-term use, the sys-
tem is turned off to avoid overheating.
