CAUTION
When closing the power liftgate, make sure there are no foreign objects
around the striker. If foreign objects are
obstructing the striker, the liftgate may
not close properly.
Striker
Do not install accessories to the power liftgate other than specifi ed accessories.
Otherwise, it cannot be opened/closed
automatically and could result in a
malfunction.
Be careful when switching the power liftgate from electrical to manual
operation. The power liftgate may open/
close unexpectedly depending on its
position which could result in injury.
NOTE
Do not apply unnecessary force to
the power liftgate when it is opening/
closing electrically. Unnecessary force
on the liftgate may cause it to reverse
direction of movement automatically.
Also, it could result in a malfunction.
The power liftgate may not open/close
electrically if the vehicle is parked on
an incline, or there is strong wind, or
the liftgate is laden with snow.
If a power liftgate system fuse has
blown, the liftgate cannot be opened
using the power liftgate switch or
the electric liftgate opener. Use the
emergency lever to open the liftgate.
Fully close the power liftgate before
disconnecting the vehicle battery. If
the battery is disconnected with the
liftgate open, it cannot be opened or
closed automatically after the battery is
reconnected. If this happens, fully close
the liftgate manually to restore the auto
full open/close function.
If the system detects weight such as that
caused by a snow-laden liftgate when
it is opened electrically, after the beep
activates three times, the liftgate stops
after reversing.
If the power liftgate is snow-laden,
remove the snow before operating the
liftgate.

Windows
Power Windows
The ignition must be switched ON for the
power windows to operate.
WARNING
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing a window: Closing a power window is 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.
Never allow children to play with power
window switches: 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.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
do not open or close more than three
windows at once.
NOTE
A power window may no longer open/
close if you continue to press the switch
after fully opening/closing the power
window. If the power window does not
open/close, wait a moment and then
operate the switch again.
When driving with only one of the
rear windows open, your ears might
experience a resonating sound.
However, this does not indicate a
problem. The sound can be reduced by
slightly opening a front window or by
changing the size of the rear window
opening.
Operating the Driver's Side Power Window
Normal opening/closing
