■ Using the luggage compartment
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the rear hatch before open-
ing it. Failure to do so may cause the rear hatch to fall closed again after it is
opened.
● When opening or closing the rear hatch, 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 rear
hatch is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the rear hatch in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not attach any accessories to the rear hatch. Such additional weight on the
rear hatch may cause the rear hatch to fall closed again after it is opened.
● The rear hatch may fall if it is not opened
fully. It is more difficult to open or close the
rear hatch on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the rear hatch unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the rear hatch is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
● When closing the rear hatch, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
● When closing the rear hatch, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface.
