WARNING:
. Make sure the rear hatch has been closed
securely to prevent it from opening while
driving.
. Do not drive with the rear hatch open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
CAUTION:
. Before opening the rear hatch, be sure to
clear away snow, ice or dust that may be
stuck to the rear hatch. If the rear hatch is
opened while materials are still stuck to it, it
may suddenly close again due to the weight
of these materials.
. Always be sure to fully open the rear hatch.
If it is not fully opened, it may suddenly shut.
. Be especially careful when opening the rear
hatch in strong wind. The door could be
caught by a gust of wind and may close
suddenly.
