Important safety notes

WARNING
The rear lamps are concealed when the tail-
gate is opened. This could mean that other
road users may not realize until too late that
the vehicle is an obstruction. There is a risk
of an accident.
Therefore you should make sure that the
vehicle is safeguarded at the rear in accord-
ance with national legal requirements, e.g.
with a warning triangle.

cles drive on the opposite side of the road to
the country where the vehicle is registered,
there is a danger of oncoming traffic being
dazzled.
