WA R N I N G Always keep the door
s tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked door may be accidentally
opened by a passen-
ger, especially by
a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there is a greater risk of someone being thrown from the vehicle
in an accident.
Liftgate (except for vehicles equipped with the power liftgate)
WA R N I N G It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate open since carbon mo
noxide (CO) gas can
enter the passenger compartment. CO is an invisible, odorless gas that cancause unconsciousness and even death. When opening and cl
osing the liftgate,
make sure that there are no people nearbyand be careful not to hit your head or pinch your hands, neck, etc. If snow or ice has ac
cumulated on the lift-
gate, remove it before
opening the liftgate.
Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly closedue to the weight of the snow or ice.
When opening the lift
gate, always fully
open it. A partially opened liftgate canunexpectedly close due to its own weight. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the effort required to open or close the liftgatemay be greater or less than expected. The liftgate may also open or close more quickly.CAUTION Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when loading and unloading
luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns. To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure that area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.NOTE
Locking and unlocking the doors by using power door locks (driver and front passenger side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-keyoperation (vehicles
equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift- gate.
To open
WA R N I N G
CAUTION Make sure there is no one standing nearby when opening the liftgate.NOTE
The liftgate cannot be rais
ed if it is not raised
immediately after pressing the liftgate open switch.If this happens, raise th
e liftgate again after
pressing the liftgate open switch. It is not possible to open the liftgate while the battery is disconnect
ed. If necessary, use
the inside liftgate release. When the battery is reconnected, all doors and the liftgate will be locked. Unlock thembefore trying to open the liftgate.
