Liftgate
WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment:
Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment is dangerous.
The person in the luggage
compartment could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden
braking or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate open:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. An open liftgate in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colorless, odorless, and
highly poisonous, and it can cause
loss of consciousness and death.
Moreover, an open liftgate could
cause occupants to fall out in an
accident.
CAUTION
Be careful not to apply excessive force
to the damper stay on the liftgate
such as by putting your hand on the
stay. Otherwise, the damper stay
may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.

liftgate can be opened only when the
vehicle is stopped with the parking brake
applied (manual transaxle), or with the
selector lever in the P position (automatic
transaxle).
NOTE
l(With the advanced keyless function)lA locked liftgate can also be opened
while the key is being carried.
lWhen using the advanced keyless
function to open the liftgate, it may
require a few seconds for the liftgate to
unlock after the electric liftgate opener
is pressed.
lThe liftgate can be closed when the
doors are locked with the key left in the
vehicle. However, to prevent leaving the
key in the vehicle, the liftgate can be
opened by pressing the electric liftgate
opener.
lWhen the liftgate is unlocked by pressing
the electric liftgate opener, the liftgate
raises slightly to allow it to be opened. If
the liftgate is not operated for a certain
period of time after the electric liftgate
opener has been pressed, the liftgate cannot
be raised any more from its slightly raised
position. Press the electric liftgate opener
again to fully open the liftgate. To close the
liftgate from its slightly raised position,
open it first by pressing the electric liftgate
opener, and waiting for 1 second or longer
then close it.
The door-ajar warning light will illuminate
if the liftgate is not fully closed.
lThe sound of the latch may be heard for a
few seconds after the electric liftgate
opener has been pressed, however, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Closing the liftgate
To close, lower the liftgate slowly using
the liftgate grip recess, and then push the
liftgate closed using both hands.

Power window system initialization
procedure
If the battery was disconnected during
vehicle maintenance, or for other reasons
(such as a switch continues to be operated
after the window is fully open/closed), the
window will not fully open and close
automatically.
The power window auto function will
only resume on the power window that
has been reset.
1 Switch the ignition ON.
2 Make sure that the power window lock
switch located on the driver's door is
not depressed.
3 Press the switch and fully open the
window.
4 Pull up the switch to fully close the
window and continue holding the
switch for about 2 seconds after the
window fully closed.
Jam-safe window
If a person's hands, head or an object
blocks the window during the auto-
closing operation, the window will stop
and open halfway.
WARNING
Make sure nothing blocks the window
just before it reaches the fully closed
position or while holding up the power
window switch:
Blocking the power window just
before it reaches the fully closed
position or while holding up the
power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the window from
closing all the way. If fingers are
caught, serious injuries could occur.NOTE
lDepending on driving conditions, a closing
power window could stop and start opening
when the window feels a shock that is
similar to something blocking it.
In the event the jam-safe function activates
and the power window cannot be closed
automatically, pull and hold the switch and
the window will close.
lThe jam-safe window function does not
operate until the system has been reset.
Engine-off power window operation
The power window can be operated for
about 40 seconds after the ignition is
switched from ON to off with all doors
closed. If any door is opened, the power
window will stop operating.
NOTE
For engine-off operation of the power window,
the switch must be held up firmly throughout
window closure because the auto-closing
function will be inoperable.
