•Drive particularly carefully and think ahead. If possible, avoid sudden
braking and driving manoeuvres as this could cause the open tailgate to
move unpredictably. Risk of injury.
•When carrying objects that protrude from the boot, the correct signals
should be used; otherwise there is a risk of accident. Observe legal require-
ments when doing so.
•Always secure objects in the boot. Loose items could fall out of the
vehicle and injure other road users.
