WARNING
Ensure that the trunk lid/tailgate is closed
when the engine is running and the vehicle is
in motion. Among other dangers, deadly
carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle
interior and cause unconsciousness and even
death.

Wagon: to open the tailgate completely, a minimum clearance of 6.36 ft (1.94 m) above the ground is necessary.
