WARNING
●Always close the rear lid properly. Risk of accident or injury.
●The rear lid must not be opened when the reverse or rear fog lights
are lit. This may damage the tail lights
●Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down with your hand on the
rear window. The glass could smash. Risk of injury!
●Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it. If not, it may open unex-

●Never allow children to play in or around the vehicle. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on
the time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness. It could even have
fatal consequences. Close and lock both the rear lid and all the other
doors when you are not using the vehicle.
●Closing the rear lid without observing and ensuring it is clear could
cause serious injury to you and to third parties. Make sure that no one is
in the path of the rear lid.
●Never drive with the rear lid open or half-closed, exhaust gases may
penetrate into the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
●If you only open the rear lid, do not leave the key inside. The vehicle
will not be opened if the key is left inside.
