It is not necessary to slam the door or
trunk lid closed. A pneumatic pow-
er-assisted mechanism draws doors
and trunk lid closed quietly and auto-
matically once the door or trunk lid has
been latched. When the pneumatic
power-assist and mechanism has
stopped, doors and/or trunk can be
re-opened.
Warning!

To prevent possible personal injury, always
keep hands and fingers away from the door
or trunk opening when closing a door or the
trunk lid. Be especially careful when small
children are around.
In case of danger, pull the inside or outside
door handle, or press the trunk lid lock.
To prevent personal injury, never activate
the closing assist mechanism by tampering
with the door or trunk lid latch.
