WARNING
- Never close the rear lid inattentively or
without checking first . Although the
closing force of the rear lid is limited,
you can st ill ser iously injure yourself or
others.
- Always ensure that no one is with in
range of the rear lid when it is moving, in
part icular close to the hinges and the up-
per and lower edges - fingers or hands
can be pinched.
- 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 .
- 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 .
- If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be
ab le to open completely or an opened
rear lid may close by itself because of the
added weight. So t he open rear lid must
be supported or the weight must be re-
moved from the luggage rack first .
