WARNING

When the child safety lock is engaged, that rear door cannot be
opened from the inside.

Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-

not help themselves, in the vehicle when locking the doors.
This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This
could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emer-
gency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.

A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-

ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.

WARNING

Accidents and severe personal injuries can result if you unlock,
open, or close the luggage compartment lid when someone is
in the way.

Only open or close the luggage compartment lid if no one is

in the way.

After closing the luggage compartment lid, always make sure

that it is properly closed and locked so that it cannot open sud-
denly when the vehicle is moving. The closed luggage com-
partment lid must be flush with the surrounding auto body
parts.

Always keep the luggage compartment lid closed while driv-

ing to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle.

Never open the luggage compartment lid when a luggage

rack is installed and loaded. If, for example, there are bicycles
on a carrier on the luggage compartment lid, it is possible that
the lid will not be able to open automatically. An open luggage
compartment lid may fall on its own because of the additional
weight. If necessary, prop open the luggage compartment lid.
Remove the weight from the luggage rack first.

Close and lock the luggage compartment lid and all doors

when the vehicle is not in use. First, make sure that no one is
left inside the vehicle.

Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play

around your vehicle, especially when the luggage compartment
lid is open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the
luggage compartment lid shut, becoming trapped and unable to
get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, de-
pending on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat
buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quick-
ly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, par-
ticularly to small children.

Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves

behind in the vehicle. They may lock the vehicle with the vehi-
cle key or the power locking button and lock themselves in.

NOTICE

Before opening or closing the luggage compartment lid, make
sure there is enough room to do so, for example, when the vehi-
cle has a trailer or is in a garage.

NOTICE

Never use the gas strut to hold or clamp a load in place. This can
damage the luggage compartment lid and make it impossible to
close.
