The heat from the exhaust could cause
burns.
l To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.

gate is closed properly. If the tailgate opens
when driving, luggage could fall onto the
road and cause an accident.

If foreign matter gets into the striker it could
prevent the electric tailgate from closing
normally.

shown below in order to support the electric
