■ Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
● Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before open-
ing it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to fall closed again after it is
opened.
● When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-
rounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back
door is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
● The back door may fall if it is not opened
fully. It is more difficult to open or close the
back door on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the back door unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
● When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
● When closing the back door, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
back door handle is used to fully close the
back door, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.
