Convenient features of your vehicle
Emergency tailgate safety
release
Your vehicle is equipped with the
emergency tailgate safety release
lever located on the bottom of the
tailgate. When someone is inadver-
tently locked in the luggage compart-
ment, the tailgate can be opened by
doing as follows:
1. Input the mechanical key into the
hole.
2. Push the mechanical key to the
right.
3. Push up the tailgate.
Rear cargo area
Occupants should never ride in the
rear cargo area where no restraints
are available. To avoid injury in the
event of an accident or sudden stops,
occupants should always be properly
restrained.
WARNING
•
For emergencies, be fully aware
of the location of the emergency
tailgate safety release lever in
the vehicle and how to open the
tailgate if you are accidentally
locked in the luggage compart-
ment.
•
No one should be allowed to
occupy the luggage compart-
ment of the vehicle at any time.
The luggage compartment is a
very dangerous location in the
event of a crash.
•
Use the release lever for emer-
gencies only. Use with extreme
caution, especially while the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
OGC044006
Exhaust fumes
If you drive with the tailgate opened,
you will draw dangerous exhaust
fumes into your vehicle which can
cause serious injury or death to
vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the tailgate
opened, keep the air vents and all
windows open so that additional
outside air comes into the vehicle.
