gle of approximately 90° or 270°.
Always make sure that the open rear door
is correctly engaged in the detent.

wise damage the vehicle or objects close to the

Rear doors
G Warning
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you close or open the doors. Take par-
ticular care, especially when children are
near the vehicle.
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
and that the traffic area is clear when opening
the doors. You could otherwise injure your-
self and others.
G Warning
The rear lamps are concealed by more than
50% when you open the rear doors through
90° or more. The vehicle is then not suffi-
ciently safeguarded at the rear and may only
be seen by other road users when they are
close to the vehicle. This could lead to an ac-
cident.
Make sure, therefore, that the vehicle is safe-
guarded at the rear in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements, e.g. with a warning
triangle.
