To open the quarter window, pull the
latch handle toward you and swing it
fully out.
When closing the window, make sure it is
completely closed.
CAUTION
When the quarter windows are
opened, observe the following:
Depending on driving conditions,
e.g. driving the vehicle with the
front windows slightly open, you
may smell exhaust fumes in the ve-
hicle. If so, close the quarter win-
dows.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn
it.
To lock: Turn the key counterclockwise.
To unlock: Turn the key clockwise.
When closing the back door (hardtop) or
tail gate (soft- top), make sure it is fully
closed.
See ”Luggage stowage precautions” in
Part 2 for precautions to observe in load-
ing luggage.
CAUTION
Keep the back door (hardtop) or tail
gate (soft- top) closed while driving.
This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
If the open back door (hardtop) or
tail gate (soft- top) hides the rear
stop and tail lights or rear turn sig-
nal lights while you are parked, oth-
er road users must be warned of
the presence of your vehicle by a
warning triangle or other device.
