the rear cargo area where no
restraints are available. To avoid

always be properly restrained.

Exhaust fumes
If you drive with the tailgate
opened, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
which can cause serious injury
or death to vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the tail-
gate opened, keep the air vents
and all windows open so that
additional outside air comes
into the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not hold the part (gas lifter)
that supports the tailgate. Be
aware that the deformation of
the part may cause vehicle
damage and a risk of injury.
