lid is securely fastened, always
check by trying to pull it up again.

To prevent damage to the tailgate lift
cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the tailgate before driv-
ing.
In cold and wet climates, tailgate
lock and tailgate mechanisms may
not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
NOTICE
i
NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the luggage compartment
of the vehicle at any time. If
the tailgate is partially or
totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur
due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather condi-
tions. The luggage compart-
ment is also a highly danger-
ous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is
a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
Your vehicle should be kept
locked and keys should be
kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. Parents should teach
their children about the dan-
gers of playing in luggage
compartment.
WARNING
Always keep the tailgate lid com-
pletely closed whilst the vehicle

ajar, poisonous exhaust gases
containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and
serious illness or death may
result.
