WARNING
■ 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 serious
injury.
● 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 suddenly shut if the back
door stopper is not locked. It is more difficult
to open or close the back door on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of the back
door unexpectedly opening or closing by
itself. Make sure that the back door stopper is
locked and secure before using the luggage
compartment.
● Even with the back door stopper locked, the
back door stopper may unlock and the back
door may close when excessive force such as
a strong wind is applied to the back door. Take
extra care to prevent any part of your body
from being caught.
● When closing the back door, take extra care
to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught. Also pay attention to your personal
belongings such as bags and ties.
● 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.
