gas can enter the cabin. You cannot see
or smell CO. It can cause unconscious-

l When the backdoor is open, the rear-
right combination lamp is obscured by
the spare wheel.
If the backdoor is opened while the vehi-
cle is parked on the road, alert other road
users to the vehicle’s presence using a
warning triangle or other device as re-
quired by local legislation.
l When closing the backdoor, always en-
sure your or other person’s fingers can-
not be caught by the backdoor.

type backdoor stopper, enabling you to hold
the backdoor at a desired position.
l While opening or closing the backdoor, you
may feel slight resistance. This is a structural
feature of the backdoor stopper that supports
the backdoor and does not indicate any abnor-
mality.
