Suzuki 2010 SX4 Sedan Owner's Manual page 21

Door Locks: 3, 5, 8
WARNING
Always make sure that the tailgate is
closed and latched securely. Com-
pletely closing the tailgate helps pre-
vent occupants from being thrown
from the vehicle in the event of an
accident. Completely closing it also
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the car.
If you cannot unlatch the tailgate by push-
ing the unlatch switch (1) due to a dis-
charged battery or malfunction, follow the
procedures below to unlatch the tailgate
from inside the vehicle.
1) Fold the rear seat forward for easier
access. Refer to "Folding Rear Seats"
section for details on how to fold the
rear seat forward.
(2)
2) Push open the tailgate from inside by
pushing up on the emergency lever (2)
using a flat blade screwdriver or the
jack handle. The tailgate will be latched
again by closing the tailgate simply.
If the tailgate cannot be unlatched by push-
ing the unlatch switch (1), have the vehicle
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
WARNING
• To avoid injury, do not use your fin-
ger to push the emergency lever.
• Make sure there is no one near the
tailgate when pushing open the tail-
gate from inside the vehicle.
