ous health hazard. Make sure to close the trunk lid before driving.

sion, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.

Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.

lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened. 

●

The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an
incline than on a level surface, so
