WARNING
Depending on the season, the temperature inside the vehicle could become very high or low, which can lead to serious
injuries, illness or death, especially for very young children.
Make sure that no one remains in the vehicle.
Never let children play in or on the vehicle unattended, especially when the trunk lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the lid, and then lock themselves in.
WARNING
The vehicle may not always detect when the trunk lid is not latched if a cargo rack that is carrying cargo is mounted on the
trunk lid. If the trunk lid is not latched, it may open suddenly while driving. This may cause serious injuries.
Check that, when closed, the trunk lid is flush with the areas of the vehicle body around it.
WARNING
If there is a heavy load of snow or cargo on the trunk lid, the additional weight may cause the lid to lower, which can result
in serious injuries.
Never open the trunk lid if there is a heavy load of snow or cargo such as a cargo rack on it.
Remove the snow or cargo before opening the trunk lid.
If necessary, support the trunk lid or remove the cargo and/or snow before opening the trunk lid.
WARNING
Closing the trunk lid incorrectly may lead to the rear window shattering and cause serious injuries.
Do not push the trunk lid closed with your hand on the rear window.
NOTICE
Using the opening mechanism incorrectly may damage the component and could prevent the trunk lid from closing.
Never attach or secure cargo on the opening mechanism.
NOTICE
Using the trunk lid or rear spoiler incorrectly may damage the component and result in it breaking off.
Never attach or secure cargo on the trunk lid or rear spoiler.
