Moreover, an open liftgate/trunk lid could cause occupants to fall out in an accident.

Do not stack or leave loaded luggage unsecured in the luggage compartment: Otherwise, the luggage may move or collapse, resulting in injury or an accident. In addition, do not load luggage higher than the seatbacks. It may aff ect the side or rear fi eld of view.

    If a strong gust blows against the liftgate/trunk lid, it could close suddenly resulting in injury.

  • When loading or unloading luggage in the luggage compartment/trunk, turn off the engine. Otherwise, you could get burned by the heat of the exhaust gas.
  • Be careful not to apply excessive force to the damper stay on the liftgate such as by putting your hand on the stay.
