Prior to opening of the switchback door, brush off the snow completely. D Close the switchback door whenever you leave the vehicle to prevent unauthorized entry. WARNING The switchback door should be kept completely shut when the vehicle is idling in an enclosed or partially enclosed area to avoid the possibility of exhaust gas entering the passenger compartment.

To ensure that exhaust gas cannot penetrate the switchback door, make certain that there are no obstructions between the door and the vehicle body that prevent the door from fully closing or that crimp the weather strip around the door. 2-28
