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

moving liftgate. If someone's neck,
head or hands get caught in a closing
door, it could result in death or serious
injury.

parked on an incline, or there is
strong wind, or the liftgate is laden
with snow.
