Tailgate
{
CAUTION:
It is extremely dangerous to ride on the
tailgate, even when the vehicle is operated
at low speeds. People riding on the
tailgate can easily lose their balance and
fall in response to vehicle maneuvers.
Falling from a moving vehicle may result
in serious injuries or death. Do not allow
people to ride on the tailgate. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a safety belt properly.
On vehicles with a lock on the tailgate, use the
key to lock or unlock the tailgate.
Open the tailgate by lifting up on its handle while
pulling the tailgate toward you.
To shut the tailgate, firmly push it upward until it
latches.
After you put the tailgate back up, pull it back
towards you to be sure it latches securely.
