Notes on the EASY-PACK tailgate
& DANGER Risk of exhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the tail‐
gate is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion.
Always switch off the engine before
#
opening the tailgate.
Never drive with the tailgate open.
#
* NOTE Damage to the tailgate caused by
obstacles above the vehicle
The tailgate swings rearwards and upwards
when it is opened.
Make sure that there is sufficient space
#
behind and above the tailgate.

substitute for your attentiveness when closing
the tailgate.
