Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Power Liftgate
WARNING
Always check the safety of the area
around the liftgate before operating/
closing it automatically.
Not checking the safety of the area
around the liftgate for people before
opening/closing the liftgate
automatically is dangerous. A person
could become caught between the
liftgate and an obstruction while it is
opening automatically or between the
liftgate and vehicle while it is closing
automatically, resulting in an accident
and serious injury.
Keep your eyes on the liftgate when
opening/closing the liftgate
automatically.
If there is an obstruction, the liftgate
may not fully close due to the jam-safe
function. Driving the vehicle with the
liftgate not fully closed is dangerous as
a person or an object could fall out of
the vehicle resulting in a serious
accident, injury, or death.
Do not let a child operate the
switches.
If the liftgate is opened/closed
unexpectedly by a child operating the
switches mistakenly, the child or
another occupant's head or hands
could get caught, resulting in an
accident and serious injury.
