gages.
The rear liftgate can be lowered easily if
you pull down on the recessed grip.
NOTEIf the rear liftgate cannot be unlocked
due to a discharged battery, a fault in
the door locking/unlocking system or
other causes, you can unlock it by
manually operating the rear liftgate
lock release lever.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear lift-gate – if the rear liftgate cannot be un-
locked” in chapter 9 “In case of emer-
gency” .

gas from entering the vehicle, al-
ways keep the rear liftgate closed
while driving.

Do not attempt to shut the rear lift-
gate while holding the recessed

liftgate by pulling on the recessed
grip from inside the cargo space.
There is a danger of your hand be-
ing caught and injured.

Do not jam a plastic bag in or
place cellophane tape on the rear
gas struts or scratch the struts
while loading or unloading cargo.
That could cause leakage of gas
from the struts, which may result
in their inability to hold the rear
liftgate open.

Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear liftgate when
opening or closing the rear lift-
gate and when loading or unload-
ing cargo.
