being caught and injured.

gate open.

Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear gate when open-
ing or closing the rear gate and
when loading or unloading car-
go.
NOTE

system or other causes, you can
unlock it by manually operating the
rear gate lock release lever.
For the procedure, refer to
