Make certain that you close
the tailgate before driving
your vehicle.

Make sure there are no people
or objects around the tailgate
before opening or closing the
tailgate.
•
Make sure objects in the rear
cargo area do not come out
when opening the tailgate,
especially if the vehicle is
parked on a grade or incline.

parked and locked on your
driveway, you may want to
temporarily deactivate the
