36 Opening and closing
- The minimum clearance between the
passengers' heads and the rear window
must never - under any circumstances -
be less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) when the
passengers sit fully upright.
- Always make sure t hat rear seat pas-
sengers cannot be struck when the rear
lid is closed.
- 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.
- 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.
(0 Tips
- If the rear lid is open or not properly
locked when the ignition is turned on,
the door and rear lid warning appears in
the instrument cluster display.
- If the rear lid on a locked vehicle is un-
locked with the middle button
e:5 on the
remote key, the rear lid is automatically
locked again immediately after closing.
This is indicated by the turn signals
blinking.
