Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The back door may suddenly shut if the back

door stopper is not locked. It is more difficult

to open or close the back door on an incline

than on a level surface, so beware of the back

door unexpectedly opening or closing by

itself. Make sure that the back door stopper is

locked and secure before using the luggage

compartment.

●

Even with the back door stopper locked, the

back door stopper may unlock and the back

door may close when excessive force such as

a strong wind is applied to the back door. Take

extra care to prevent any part of your body

from being caught.

When closing the back door, take extra care

to prevent your fingers etc. from being

caught. Also pay attention to your personal

belongings such as bags and ties.

door handle is used to fully close the back

door, it may result in hands or arms being

caught.

denly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck to be
