WARNING
- After closing the rear lid, always pull up
on it to make sure that it is properly
closed. Otherwise it could open suddenly
when the vehicle is moving .
- To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas
from being drawn into the vehicle, al-
ways keep the rear lid closed while driv-
ing. Never transport objects larger than
those which fit completely into the lug-
gage area, because then the rear lid can-
not be fully closed.
Opening and closing 39
- Never leave your vehicle unattended es-
pecially with the rear lid left open. A
child could crawl into the car through the
luggage compartment and pull the lid
shut, becoming trapped and unable to
get out . To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury, never let children play in or around
your vehicle. Always keep the rear lid as
well as the vehicle doors closed when not
in use.
- Never close the rear lid inattentively or
without checking first. Although the
closing force of the rear lid is limited,
you can still seriously injure yourself or
others .
- Always ensure that no one is within
range of the rear lid when it is moving, in
particular close to the hinges and the up-
per and lower edges - fingers or hands
can be pinched .
- Never try to interfere with the rear lid or
help it when it is being opened or closed
automatically .

Note
The rear lid can bump into objects such as
the garage ceiling when opening and be-
come damaged.

Tips
- Audio signals are given when you close
the rear lid using the
la!
button in the
driver's door.
- If there is a mechanical problem with au-
tomatic closing for the rear lid or there is
an obstruction, it opens again immedi-
ately . Check to see why the rear lid could
not be closed before attempting to close
it again .
- The following applies to vehicles equip-
ped with the Convenience key* feature: if
the remote control key is left in the lug-
gage compartment, luggage compart-
ment will automatically unlock itself af-
ter you lock the vehicle. This prevents
you from unintentionally locking your
key in the luggage compartment. .,.
