Push the handle and push down the
lower side of the back door.
When closing the back door, make sure
it is fully closed.
See “Cargo and luggage” on page 229 for
precautions when loading luggage.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out
but also prevents exhaust gases
from entering the vehicle.
If the open back door hides the
stop and tail lights, rear turn sig-
nal lights or rear retro reflectors
while you are parked, other road
users must be warned of the
presence of your vehicle by a
warning triangle or other device.
BACK DOOR CHILDPROTECTOR
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a back
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.
