Emergency tailgate safety release
Your vehicle is equipped with emergency
tailgate safety release lever located on
the bottom of the tailgate. When some-
one is inadvertently locked in the lug-
gage compartment, if the lever is
pushed, the tailgate latch mechanism is
released and the tailgate is opened by
pushing backward.
WARNING
• For emergency, be fully aware of
the location of the emergency
tailgate safety release lever in the
vehicle and how to open the tail-
gate if you are accidentally
locked in the luggage compart-
ment.
• No one should be allowed to
occupy the luggage compartment
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-
gency only. Use extreme caution,
especially while the vehicle is in
motion.
