Trunk Lid

WARNING

Never allow a person to ride in the trunk:

Allowing a person to ride in the trunk is
dangerous. The person in the trunk could
be seriously injured or killed during sudden
braking or a collision.

Do not drive with the trunk lid open:

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is
dangerous. An open trunk lid in a moving
vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn
into the cabin. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is colorless,
odorless, and highly poisonous, and it can
cause loss of consciousness and death.
Moreover, an open trunk lid could cause
occupants to fall out in an accident.

CAUTION



Before opening the trunk lid, remove any
snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the trunk lid could close
under the weight of the snow and ice
resulting in injury.



Be careful when opening/closing the
trunk lid during strong winds. If a strong
gust blows against the trunk lid, it could
close suddenly resulting in injury.



Fully open the trunk lid and make sure
that it stays open. If the trunk lid is only
opened partially, it could slam shut by
vibration or wind gusts resulting in
injury.



When loading or unloading luggage in
the trunk, turn off the engine. Otherwise,
you could get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.
