- Always be careful when closing the boot lid. A safety feature is provided (pinch protection), but this may not always be able to prevent serious injuries to yourself or others in all circumstances.
- To prevent any risk of injury, always make sure that no one is in the path of the boot lid - in particular around the hinges and the upper and lower edges.
- The boot lid must always be completely closed when the vehicle is moving; otherwise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into the interior.
- If a luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is mounted to the boot lid, the boot lid may not open completely or may move downwards by itself due to the added weight. For this reason, make sure you support the boot lid or take the luggage off the carrier before opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
Avant/allroad: To avoid damage, please take care that the boot lid does not hit the ceiling when opening it inside a garage or car park, etc.
