(8 to 12 in) above the bonnet lock, then let it
drop.
3. Make sure it is securely latched.
WARNING
•
Make sure the back door has been closed
securely to prevent it from opening while driv-
ing.
•
Do not drive with the back door open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
CAUTION
•
Before opening the back door, be sure to clear
away snow, ice or dust that may be stuck to
the back door. If the back door is opened
while materials are still stuck to it, it may sud-
denly close again due to the weight of these
materials.
•
Always be sure to fully open the back door. If
it is not fully opened, it may suddenly shut.
•
Be especially careful when opening the back
door in strong wind. The door could be caught
by a gust of wind and may close suddenly.
CAUTION
•
The back door gas stays jA are installed in
order to support the weight of the back door.
In order to prevent the gas stays being dam-
aged or not operating properly, be sure to
observe the following points.
– Do not insert hands or cords into the gas
stays
jA or apply any force to them later-
ally.
– Do not attach any adhesive foreign materi-
als such as pieces of plastic or stickers to
the rod
jB portion.
•
Do not close the back door while holding the
gas stays or hang anything on them. Doing so
may lead to hands or arms becoming trapped
in the back door and could result in an injury.
