bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.

requires significantly greater force.
Notice
At low outside temperatures the
tailgate may not open fully by itself.
In this event, lift the tailgate manually
to its normal end position.
