ose 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 unexpectedly while
driving.
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 poi-
soning!

pecially if the rear lid is open. Children
could enter the luggage compartment,
close the rear lid and become trapped. A
locked vehicle can reach extremely high

time of year, thus causing serious injuries,
illness or even death.
