WARNING
If you open the rear doors 90°, the rear lights
are covered. The vehicle is then difficult or
impossible to recognise for other road users,
in particular when it is dark or visibility is poor.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should ensure that in these or similar sit-
uations the vehicle is visible from the rear in
accordance with the relevant national regula-
tions, by using the warning triangle, for
instance.

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the rear
door is open when the engine is running, par-
ticularly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust
fumes could enter the passenger compart-
ment. There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the rear
door. Never drive with the rear door open.
! Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
when opening the rear doors. You could oth-
erwise damage the vehicle and objects in
close range of the rear doors.
You can lock the rear doors at an angle of 90°.
Always make sure that the open rear door is
correctly engaged in the detent.
