WARNING
■Operating the back door 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resu lting in death 
or serious injury. 
● Remove  any  heavy  loads,  such  as  snow  and  ice,  from  the  back  door 
before  opening  it.  Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  the  back  door  to  suddenly

the back door is about to open or close. 
● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it 
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● The back door may suddenly shut 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  com- 
partment.
