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 colorless,
odorless, 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 field of view.
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

Do not modify or replace the liftgate
damper stay. Consult an Authorized

closes completely:
Opening or closing the power liftgate while
not watching it move is dangerous.
Because of unseen obstacles and the

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.

*Some models.3-21
CX-9_8HB2-EA-18G_Edition1 2018-5-11 13:09:27

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.
Never allow children to operate the power
liftgate system:
Allowing children to operate the power
liftgate switch and the keyless entry system
is dangerous. Children are not aware of the
dangers of people getting fingers and
hands caught in a moving liftgate. If
someone's neck, head or hands get caught
in a closing door, it could result in death or
serious injury.
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 specified 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
