WARNING Risk of accident due to con‐
cealed lighting systems
If you open the rear-end doors by 90°, the
rear lighting installations will be concealed.
Other road users will then not be able to see
the vehicle, or will see it only with difficulty.
Therefore, in these or similar situations, safe‐
guard the vehicle in accordance with national
regulations, e.g. with a warning triangle.
