Driving with an open rear hatch
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Driving with an open rear hatch can lead to serious personal injury. If you have to drive with an open
rear hatch, make sure that all objects and the hatch itself are properly secured and take appropriate
measures to keep toxic exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Driving with an unlatched or open rear hatch can lead to serious personal injury.
Never transport objects larger than those fitting completely into the luggage compartment,
because the rear hatch cannot be closed properly.
After closing the hatch, always pull up on it to make sure that it is properly closed and
cannot open suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
Always stow all objects securely in the luggage compartment. Loose objects can fall out
of the luggage compartment and injure others on the road behind you.
Drive carefully; anticipate what other drivers will do.
Avoid abrupt or sudden acceleration, steering, or braking, because the unlatched rear
hatch can move suddenly.
Always mark objects sticking out from the luggage compartment clearly for others to see.
Obey all applicable legal requirements.
Never use the rear hatch to “clamp” or “hold” objects that stick out of the luggage
compartment.
Always remove any luggage rack or other rack mounted on the rear hatch (along with any
luggage on the rack) before driving with an open rear hatch.
WARNING
Driving with an open rear hatch can cause poisonous carbon monoxide in the engine exhaust
to get into the passenger compartment.
Carbon monoxide causes drowsiness, inattentiveness, poisoning, and loss of
consciousness. It can lead to accidents and severe personal injuries.
Always keep the rear hatch closed while driving to help keep poisonous exhaust fumes
from being drawn into the vehicle.
Never transport objects that are too large to fit completely into the luggage area, because
then the rear hatch cannot be fully closed.
If you absolutely must drive with an open rear hatch, do the following to reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning:
– Close all windows and the power sunroof.
– Switch off the climate control system's air recirculation feature.
– Open all air vents in the instrument panel.
– Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
NOTICE
The open rear hatch changes the vehicle's length and height.
