CAUTION
■While driving
●Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or luggage
may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a serious
health hazard. Make sure to close the back door before driving.
●Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back
door is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving, causing an acci-
dent.
●Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
■When children are in the vehicle

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not leave children alone in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could have heat
exhaustion.
●Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to operate unexpectedly, or cause the child’s
hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.

ous injury.
●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-

door is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
●The back door may close if the back door
stopper is not locked (specifically, when
using the luggage compartment with the
back door kept open at your desired posi-
tion). It is more difficult to open or close the
back door on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the back door unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door stopper is locked and
secure when using the luggage compart-
ment.
●When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught. Also pay attention to your personal
belongings such as bags and ties.
●When closing the back door, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
back door handle is used to fully close the
back door, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.
