WARNING

Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them:
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.

Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a place
where your children will not

¿ nd or

play with them:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.

Always close all the windows, lock the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and take
the key with you when leaving your
vehicle unattended:
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.

WARNING

After closing the doors and the liftgate/
boot lid, always verify that they are
securely closed:
Doors and the liftgate/boot lid not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door and the
liftgate/boot lid not securely closed,
the door and the liftgate/boot lid could
open unexpectedly resulting in an
accident.

Always con

¿ rm the safety around the

vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid:
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate/boot lid is dangerous. A passing
vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and
cause an accident.

CAUTION

Always con

¿ rm the conditions around

the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and the liftgate/boot lid and use
caution during strong winds or when
parked on an incline. Not being aware
of the conditions around the vehicle is
dangerous because

¿ ngers could get

caught in the door and the liftgate/boot
lid or a passing pedestrian could be hit,
resulting in an unexpected accident or
injury.

Liftgate/Boot Lid

WARNING

Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment/boot is
dangerous. The person in the luggage
compartment/boot could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.

Do not drive with the liftgate/boot lid
open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate/boot lid
in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colourless, odourless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause loss
of consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate/boot lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.

Do not stack or leave loaded
luggage unsecured in the luggage
compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear

¿ eld of view.

CAUTION

Before opening the liftgate/boot

lid, remove any snow and ice
accumulation on it. Otherwise, the
liftgate/boot lid could close under the
weight of the snow and ice resulting
in injury.

Be careful when opening/closing

the liftgate/boot lid during strong
winds. If a strong gust blows against
the liftgate/boot lid, it could close
suddenly resulting in injury.

Fully open the liftgate/boot lid and

make sure that it stays open. If the
liftgate/boot lid is only opened
partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.

When loading or unloading luggage

in the luggage compartment/boot,
turn off the engine. Otherwise, you
could get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.

Be careful not to apply excessive

force to the damper stay on the
liftgate such as by putting your hand
on the stay. Otherwise, the damper
stay may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.

WARNING

Do not place anything on top of the
cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top
of the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking
or a collision, the cargo could become
a projectile that could hit and injure
someone. The vehicle has a light
weight luggage compartment cover to
keep the contents of your luggage area
out of sight; it will not retain heavy
objects that are not tied down in an
accident such as a rollover. Tie down
all heavy objects, whether luggage or
cargo, using the tie down hooks.

Make sure luggage and cargo are
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving
is dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.

CAUTION

Make sure the luggage compartment
cover is

¿ rmly secured. If it is not

¿ rmly secured, it could unexpectedly
disengage resulting in injury.

The luggage compartment can be accessed
by opening the liftgate when the straps are
attached to the sides of the liftgate.
