The rear win- dow could break and cause injuries. x After closing the rear hatch, always make sure that it is properly closed and locked o sthat it cannot open suddenly when the vehicle is moving. The closed rear hatch must be flush with the surrounding auto body parts. x Always keep the rear hatch closed while driving to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into the vehicle. x Never open the rear hatch when a luggage rack is installed and loaded. If, for exampe, l there are bicycles on a carrier on the rear hatch, it is possible that the rear hatch will be diffi- cult to open. An open rear hatch may fall on its own because of the additional weight. If ne- cessary, prop open the rear hatch. Remove the weight from the luggage rack first. x Close and lock the rear hatch and all doors when the vehicle is not in use. First, make sur e that no one is left inside the vehicle. x Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play around your vehicle, especially when the rear hatch is open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the rear hatch shut, becoming trapped and unable to get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat build-up in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children. x Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. They may lock the vehicle with the vehicle key or the power locking button and lock themselves in. NOTICE Before opening or closing the rear hatch, make sure there is enough room to do so, as for example when the vehicle has a trailer or is in a garage.
