WARNING
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the tailgate can cause
accidents and serious injuries.
- Therefore the tailgate should only be opened or closed when you are sure
that nobody is in its path.
- Never close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the window.
The rear window could shatter and cause injuries.
- After closing the tailgate, check to make sure that it is closed and locked
correctly so that it does not open while the vehicle is in motion. The closed
tailgate must be flush with the surrounding body panels.
- Always keep the tailgate closed while the vehicle is in motion so that no
toxic exhaust fumes can enter the vehicle interior.
- Never open the tailgate if there is a load attached to it, e.g. a rack or
luggage carrier. It may also not possible to open the tailgate if there are
objects attached to it, e.g. bicycles. The additional load might cause the open
tailgate to close by itself. Support the tailgate as necessary or remove the
load from the surface.
- Close and lock the tailgate and all vehicle doors when the vehicle is not
in use. Ensure that no one remains in the vehicle.
- Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially
when the tailgate is open. Children could climb into the luggage compartment
and shut the tailgate, thereby trapping themselves inside. Temperatures inside
a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This
can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.

NOTICE
Before opening the tailgate, please check that there is enough space to open and
close the tailgate, e.g. when towing a trailer or when in a garage.

NOTICENever use the gas-filled strut to
fix or hold a load. This could lead to damage and make it impossible to close the
tailgate.
