CAUTION
Before opening the liftgate/boot
lid, remove any snow and ice
accumulation on it. Otherwise, the
liftgate/boot lid could close under the
weight of the snow and ice resulting
in injury.
Be careful when opening/closing
the liftgate/boot lid during strong
winds. If a strong gust blows against
the liftgate/boot lid, it could close
suddenly resulting in injury.
Fully open the liftgate/boot lid and
make sure that it stays open. If the
liftgate/boot lid is only opened
partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.
When loading or unloading luggage
in the luggage compartment/boot,
turn off the engine. Otherwise, you
could get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.
Be careful not to apply excessive
force to the damper stay on the
liftgate such as by putting your hand
on the stay. Otherwise, the damper
stay may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.
