▼ Power Liftgate*
The power liftgate opens/closes
electrically by operating the switches in

tons on the keyless
entry system transmitter.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it
opens or closes, and make sure that it
closes completely:
Opening or closing the power liftgate while
not watching it move is dangerous.
Because of unseen obstacles and the
jam-safe feature, a liftgate may not close
completely and, if left unnoticed, could
result in serious injury or death if an
occupant were to fall out of the vehicle.
Always be sure that the area around the
liftgate is clear be fore activating it.
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before operating
it electrically.
Not checking the area around the liftgate
for people before operating it using the
power liftgate switch or the button on the
keyless entry system is dangerous. A person
could become caught between the liftgate
and an obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious injury.

WA R N I N G
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
•If the electric liftgate opener is pressed
while the easy closure function is
operating, the liftgate can be opened.

conceal cargo or luggage. The luggage
compartment cover can be stored under
the luggage board.
WA R N I N G
Do not place anything on top of the
luggage compartment cover:
Placing luggage or other cargo on top of
the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking or a
collision, the cargo could become a
projectile that could hit and injure
someone.
CAUTION
Make sure the luggage compartment cover
is firmly secured. If it is not firmly secured, it
could unexpectedly disengage resulting in
injury.
NOTE
•If you attempt to open the liftgate under
