CAUTION

■

Operating the back door

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

●

When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-

rounding area is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back

door is about to open or close.

●

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

move abruptly in strong wind.

●

The back door may close if the back door

stopper is not locked (specifically, when

using the luggage compartment with the

back door kept open at your desired posi-

tion). It is more difficult to open or close the

back door on an incline than on a level sur-

face, so beware of the back door unexpect-

edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure

that the back door stopper is locked and

secure when using the luggage compart-

ment.

●

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.

●

When closing the back door, make sure to

press it lightly on its outer surface. If the

back door handle is used to fully close the

back door, it may result in hands or arms

being caught.
