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 lug-

In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a seri-
ous health hazard. Make sure to close the back door before driving.

braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.

secure before using the luggage com-
partment.
