Improper or unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the rear hatch can cause accidents and severe injuries.
Never close the rear hatch by pushin g on the rear window with your hand. The rear window
could break and cause injuries.
After closing the rear hatch, always make sure that it is properly closed and locked so that it cannot open suddenly when the vehicle is moving. The closed rear hatch must be flu sh
with the surrounding auto body parts.
A lways keep the rear hatch closed while
driving to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into the vehicle.
and closing
Never open the rear hatch when a luggage
rack is installed and load ed. for example,
there are bicycle s on a carrier on the rear it is possible that the rear hatch will not be able
to open automatically. An open rear hatch may fall on its own b eca use of the additional weight. The open rear hatch must be supported or the weight must be removed from the lu ggage rack
first.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let
children play around your vehicle, especially
with the rear hatch left open. A child could crawl
into the vehicle and pull the rear hatch shut, be­coming trapped and unable to get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, de­pending on the season. in the summer, heat build-up in the passenger and luggage compartment of parked ve hicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousn ess and death, particularly
to small children.
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. They may lock the vehicle with the vehicle key or the power locking switch and lock themselves in.
Note
Before opening or closing the rear hatch, make sure there is enough room to do as for example when the vehicle has a trailer or is in a garage.
