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*
E00301402634
WARNING
l It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can enter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
l When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure that there are no people near-
by and be careful not to hit your head or
pinch your hands, neck, etc.
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.
WARNING
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 whilst 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 To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.
To lock/unlock
The tailgate can be locked or unlocked by us-
ing the central door lock switch (driver side).

the system from operating. If this occurs,
wait approximately 1 minute before operat-
ing the central door lock switch.
To open
After unlocking the tailgate, push the tailgate
open switch (A) and pull up the tailgate.
