NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the luggage compartment
of the vehicle at any time. If

totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur
due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather condi-
tions. The luggage compart-
ment is also a highly danger-

crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is
a part of the vehicle's crush
zone.

their children about the dan-
gers of playing in luggage
compartments.

that supports the tailgate. Be
aware that the deformation of
the part may cause vehicle
damage and a risk of injury.
