CX-50_8KB8-EA-22A_Edition2_new 2022-1-6 14:55:18

liftgate's path, the liftgate will move in
the reverse direction automatically and
stops.
WARNING
Always check the area around the
power liftgate before opening/closing
it:
Not checking for occupants and
objects around the power liftgate
before opening/closing it is
dangerous. The jam-safe equipment is
designed to prevent jamming in the
event an obstruction is in the liftgate's
path. The system may not detect
certain objects obstructing the liftgate
depending on the way they are
positioned and their shape. However,
if the jam-safe function detects an
obstruction and moves the liftgate in
the reverse direction, an occupant in
the liftgate's path could be seriously
injured.
CAUTION
Sensors are installed on both ends of
the power liftgate. Be careful not to
allow the sensors to be scratched or
damaged by sharp objects, otherwise
the liftgate may no longer open/close
automatically. In addition, if the sensor
is damaged while the liftgate is closing
automatically, the system will stop.
1. Sensor
NOTE
The jam-safe equipment does not
activate during easy closure operation
when the power liftgate is between the
near-shut position and fully closed
position.
When the power liftgate is moving in
the open/close direction and an
obstruction is detected, the beep
sound will be heard and the liftgate
moves in the reverse direction and
stops.
Liftgate easy closure
The Easy Closure system automatically
closes the liftgate completely from the
near-shut position.
This system also operates when the
liftgate is closed manually.
WARNING
When closing a liftgate, always keep
hands and fingers away from the
liftgate:
Placing hands or fingers around a
liftgate is dangerous because the
liftgate closes automatically from the
near-shut position, which could cause
hands and fingers to be pinched and
injured.
NOTE
If the electric liftgate opener is
pressed while the easy closure
function is operating, the liftgate can
be opened.
If the liftgate is opened/closed
repeatedly in a short period of time,
the easy closure function may not
operate. Wait for about 2 seconds
and then try again.

Open the windows or adjust the
heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the
vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a
long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and
around your vehicle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by
the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
it could cause loss of consciousness or
even death to occupants in the cabin.Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
▼Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
When removing the fuel-filler cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn
skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when
there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel-filler cap is removed too
quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away
from the filler neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be
ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect
fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler
cap may result in a fuel leak, which
could result in serious burns or death
in an accident.
Do not continue refueling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts
off
automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel
pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the
fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage
could damage the vehicle and if the
fuel ignites it could cause a fire and
explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
