Tailgate
WARNING
 Luggage compartment is not designed to
ride for people. Do not let people ride or
children play there. This could result in a
serious accident.
 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.
And also, if opening the tailgate while
driving, luggage may fall from the tail-
gate. This could result in a serious acci-
dent.
 When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure of the surrounding safety and
keep enough space for back and upper of
the vehicle and be careful not to hit your
head or pinch your hands, neck, etc.
 When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the tail-
gate. 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.

When you open the tailgate make sure
that the tailgate is opened fully and
remains fully open. If you only open the
tailgate halfway there is a risk that the
tailgate 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
 Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.
 To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.
