Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
lRemove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door fall closed
again after it is opened.
l When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
l If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.
l Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
l Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do
not hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
lThe back door may fall if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open
or close the back door on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of
the back door unexpectedly opening or
closing by itself. Make sure that the
back door is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.

care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.

to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
