Power liftgate drop prevention
mechanism
The power liftgate drop prevention
mechanism activates if the system detects
weight such as that caused by a snow-
laden liftgate when it is opened
electrically. After the liftgate is fully
opened, the beep sound will be heard and
the liftgate closes automatically.
NOTE
lIf the power liftgate is snow-laden, remove
the snow before operating the liftgate.
lTrying to force the power liftgate closed
manually immediately after it has fully
opened automatically may activate the
liftgate drop prevention mechanism.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
Liftgate easy closure
The Easy Closure system automatically
closes the liftgate completely from the
near-shut position.
This system also operates when the
liftgate is closed manually.
WARNING
When closing a liftgate, always keep
hands and fingers away from the
liftgate:
Placing hands or fingers around a
liftgate is dangerous because the
liftgate closes automatically from the
near-shut position, which could
cause hands and fingers to be
pinched and injured.NOTE
lIf the liftgate handle is pulled while the
easy closure function is operating, the
liftgate can be opened.
lIf the liftgate is opened/closed repeatedly in
a short period of time, the easy closure
function may not operate. Wait for a while
and then try again.

Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for the power windows to
operate.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window:
Closing power windows are
dangerous. A person's hands, head,
or even neck could be caught by the
window and result in serious injury
or even death.
This warning applies especially to
children.
Always lock all passenger power
windows with the power window lock
switch on the driver's side while
children are in the vehicle, and never
allow children to play with power
window switches:
Leaving the power window switches
unlocked while children are in the
vehicle is dangerous. Power window
switches that are not locked with the
power window lock switch would
allow children to operate power
windows unintentionally which could
result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the window.
qOperating the Front Power Windows
NOTElEach passenger power window can be
operated with each door switch when the
power window lock switch on the driver's
door is in the unlocked position (page
