WARNING
ONX4E050058R
Always close the liftgate before driving.
Do not grab or hold on to the liftgate
support struts or they may be damaged.
Deformation of the liftgate support
struts may result in vehicle damage and
personal injury.
WARNING
Never allow anyone to occupy the cargo
area of the vehicle at any time. If the
liftgate is partially or totally latched
and the person cannot get out, serious
injury or death may occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes, and rapid
heat build-up, or due to exposure to
cold weather conditions. The cargo area
is also a very dangerous location in the
event of a collision because it is part of
the vehicle’s crush zone.
