signed for people to ride in it. Do not let
passengers ride in or let children play in
the luggage compartment. Riding or play- ing in the luggage compartment could re-
sult in a serious accident.
l It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas

hind and above the vehicle. In addition, be careful not to hit your head or pinch
your hands, neck, etc.WARNINGl When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the tailgate. If you open the tailgate without
removing it, there is a possibility that the tailgate may close suddenly due to theweight of that snow or ice.

slam shut.CAUTIONl Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. The heat
from the exhaust could lead to burns.
