Important safety notes
G WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid/tailgate is open when the engine is
running, especially if the vehicle is in motion.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid/tailgate. Never drive with the
trunk lid/tailgate open.
! The trunk lid/tailgate swings upwards
and to the rear when opened. Therefore,
make sure that there is sufficient clearance
above and behind the trunk lid/tailgate.
