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 colourless, odourless, 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.

Do not stack or leave loaded
luggage unsecured in the luggage
compartment:
Otherwise, the luggage may move
or collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear ¿ eld of view.

Before Driving
Doors and Locks
CAUTION
  Before opening the liftgate, remove
any snow and ice accumulation on
it. Otherwise, the liftgate could close
under the weight of the snow and ice
resulting in injury.
  Be careful when opening/closing
the liftgate during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the liftgate,
it could close suddenly resulting in
injury.
  Fully open the liftgate and make
sure that it stays open. If the liftgate
is only opened partially, it could
slam shut by vibration or wind gusts
resulting in injury.
  When loading or unloading luggage
in the luggage compartment, turn
off the engine. Otherwise, you could
get burned by the heat of the exhaust
gas.
  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.
Damper stay

CAUTION
  Do not modify or replace the
liftgate damper stay. Consult an
