Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. If
the tailgate is open when the engine is
running, particularly if the vehicle is
moving, exhaust fumes could enter the
passenger compartment. There is a risk of
poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the
tailgate. Never drive with the tailgate
open.

WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured sufficiently, they could
slip, tip over or be flung around and
thereby hit vehicle occupants. There is a
risk of injury, especially when braking or
abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before
the journey.
!
Do not exceed the lower tailgate maxi-
mum load of
100 kg. It may otherwise
become damaged.
!
The tailgates swing to the rear, both
upwards and downwards, when opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is suf-
ficient clearance above, behind and
below the tailgates.

The opening
dimensions of the tailgate
can be found in the "Vehicle data" sec-
tion (Y page 265).
Preferably stow luggage or loads in the
luggage compartment. Observe the loading
guidelines (Y page 198).
