You and your passengers
must be aware of the location
of the Emergency Tailgate
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
tailgate in case you are acci-
dentally locked in the luggage
compartment.
NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the luggage compartment of
the vehicle at any time. If the
tailgate is partially or totally
latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur due
to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The lug-
gage compartment is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.(Continued)

Your vehicle should be kept
locked and the key should be
kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. Parents should teach
