Rear doors
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the rear
door is open when the engine is running, par-
ticularly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust
fumes could enter the passenger compart-
ment. There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the rear
door. Never drive with the rear door open.
G
WARNING
If you open a rear door, you could:
R
endanger other people or road users
R
be caught by oncoming traffic
This is particularly the case if you open the
rear door more than 90°. There is a risk of an
accident and injury.
Only open the rear doors when traffic condi-
tions permit. Always make sure that the rear
doors are properly locked.

WARNING
If you open the rear doors 90°, the rear lights

in particular when it is dark or visibility is poor.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should ensure that in these or similar sit-
uations the vehicle is visible from the rear in
accordance with the relevant national regula-
tions, by using the warning triangle, for
instance.

Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
when opening the rear doors. You could oth-
erwise damage the vehicle and objects in
close range of the rear doors.
You can lock the rear doors at an angle of
approx. 90° and, if necessary, 180° or 270°.
