“Child-protection” rear
doors

1- Lock
2- Unlock
Child protection helps prevent the rear doors
from being opened accidentally from the in-
side.
If the lever is set to the locked position, the
rear door cannot be opened using the inside
handle, but only with the outside handle.
If the lever is set to the “Unlock” position,
the child protection mechanism does not
function.
CAUTION
l
When driving with a child in the rear seat,
please use the child protection to prevent ac-
cidental door opening which may cause an
accident.
Tailgate
E00301402836
WARNING
l The luggage compartment was not de-
signed for people to ride in it. Do not let
passengers ride in or let children play in
the luggage compartment. Riding or play-
ing in the luggage compartment could re-
sult in a serious accident.
l It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas
contained in engine exhaust gases can en-
ter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
In addition, if the tailgate opens when
driving, luggage could fall onto the road
and cause an accident.
l When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure that there are no people near-
by and that there is sufficient space be-
hind and above the vehicle. In addition,
be careful not to hit your head or pinch
your hands, neck, etc.
WARNING
l
When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the
tailgate. If you open the tailgate without
removing it, there is a possibility that the
tailgate may close suddenly due to the
weight of that snow or ice.
l When you open the tailgate make sure
that the tailgate is opened fully and re-
mains fully open. If you only open the tail-
gate halfway there is a risk that the tail-
gate may drop and slam shut. If you open
the tailgate while your vehicle is parked
on an incline it is more difficult to do so
than on the flat and also it may drop and
slam shut.
CAUTION
l Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. The heat
from the exhaust could lead to burns.
l To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.
NOTE
l Locking/unlocking with the central door
lock switch, the keyless entry system, or the
keyless operation function also locks/
unlocks the tailgate.
