●
Never open the rear lid if there is cargo,
e.g. bicycles, attached to it. The rear lid may
close by itself due to the additional weight. If
necessary, remove the cargo rst or hold the
rear lid.
●
Never leave the vehicle unattended or al-
low children to play inside or next to it, espe-
cially if the rear lid is open. Children could
enter the luggage compartment, close the
rear lid and become trapped. A locked vehi-
cle can reach extremely high and low tem-
peratures, depending on the time of year,
thus causing serious injuries, illness or even
death.
NOTICE
●
Before opening or closing the rear lid,
make sure that there is enough space to
open or close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or
in a garage.
●
Never use the rear wiper or rear spoiler to
secure cargo or as a handhold. This could
cause damage that could lead to the break-
age of the rear wiper or spoiler.
Note
Before closing the rear lid, make sure that
the key has not been left inside the luggage
compartment.
