On a steep slope
Take care when opening doors while the vehicle is on a slope facing uphill. The sloping terrain could cause the door to open more quickly than usual.On a steep slope, manually guide the side door to help it to close.If the vehicle is on a slope facing downhill, the door may not stay open, instead closing suddenly, with a risk of injury. Always hold the door to ensure that it does not close unexpectedly.
WARNI NG
On a steep slope, the door's weight may cause it to move, opening or closing suddenly as a result.Avoid leaving the vehicle unsupervised on a steep slope with one or more doors open. If this advice is not followed, injuries or damage may occur if a person or an object is trapped or caught.
