!
Always keep the doors tightly closed and locked
when driving. An unlocked door may be acciden-
tally opened by a passenger, especially by a child
who could fall out. Also, if the doors are not locked,
there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from
the vehicle in an accident.
WA R N I N G
!
It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open since
carbon monoxide (CO) gas can enter the cabin.
CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
When opening and closing the liftgate, make sure
that there are no people nearby and be careful not to
hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.
CAUTION
!
Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading
and unloading luggage. Heat from the exhaust could
lead to burns.
