Each of the rear doors is equipped with a

prevent unwanted opening of the door
from inside the vehicle. When the lock
lever is in the “LOCK” position (1), the rear
door can only be opened from outside.
When the lock lever is in the “UNLOCK”
position (2), the rear door can be opened
from inside or outside.

To open the tailgate, insert the key and
turn it clockwise to unlatch and lift the tail-
gate.

You can also unlatch the tailgate by pulling
the release lever (if equipped) located on
the outboard side of the driver’s seat.
WARNING
Be sure to place the child-proof lock
in the “LOCK” position whenever
children are seated in the rear.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
Do not use the key to lift up the tail-
gate, or the key may break off in the
lock.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Always make sure that the tailgate is
closed and latched securely. Com-
pletely closing the tailgate helps pre-
vent occupants from being thrown
from the vehicle in the event of an
accident. Completely closing it also
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the vehicle.
