When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the surrounding area is safe.

● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may move abruptly in strong wind.

● The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully. It is more difficult to open or close the back door on an incline than on a level surface, so beware of the back door unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.
