Driving with an open trunk lid can cause poisonous carbon monoxide in the engine exhaust to get
into the passenger compartment. Carbon monoxide causes drowsiness, inattentiveness, poison‐
ing, and loss of consciousness. It can lead to accidents and severe personal injuries.
Always keep the trunk lid closed while driving to help keep poisonous exhaust fumes from be‐
ing drawn into the vehicle.
Never transport objects that are too large to fit completely into the luggage area, because then
the trunk lid cannot be fully closed.
If you absolutely must drive with an open trunk lid, 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.
NOTE
The open trunk lid changes the vehicle length and height.
Driving through water on roads
Note the following to help prevent vehicle damage when driving through water, for example on
flooded roads:
Check the depth of the water before driving through it. The water must not be any higher than
the bottom of the vehicle body ⇒ .
Do not drive faster than walking speed.
Never stop the vehicle, and do not drive in reverse or switch the engine off when driving through
water.
Oncoming vehicles may create waves that raise the water level and make it too deep for your ve‐
hicle to drive through safely.
