Caution while driving
●
Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or lug-
gage may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a seri-
ous health hazard. Make sure to close the back door before driving.
●
Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the back door is fully closed. If
the back door is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving,
causing an accident.
●
Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden
braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
●
Do not get on the rear step bumper.
■
When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
Do not leave children alone in the luggage compartment.
If children are accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could
be overheated.
●
Do not allow children to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to operate unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
