Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.

●Make sure that the trunk lid is
fully closed. If the trunk lid is not
fully closed, it may open unex-
pectedly while driving and hit
near-by objects or luggage in
the trunk may be thrown out,
causing an accident.
●Do not allow children to play in
the trunk.
If a child is accidentally locked
in the trunk, they could suffer
from heat exhaustion, suffoca-
tion or other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or
close the trunk lid.

WARNING
●Remove any heavy loads, such

opened.
●When opening or closing the

make sure the surrounding area
is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make
sure they are safe and let them
know that the trunk is about to
open or close.
●Use caution when opening or
closing the trunk lid in windy
weather as it may move
abruptly in strong wind.
●The trunk lid may suddenly shut
if it is not opened fully. It is more
difficult to open or close the
trunk lid on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the
trunk lid unexpectedly opening
or closing by itself. Make sure
that the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the
trunk.
●When closing the trunk lid, take
extra care to prevent your fin-
gers etc. from being caught.
