Always confirm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before
operating it electrically.
Not checking the area around the
liftgate for people before operating it
using the power liftgate switch or the
button on the keyless entry system is
dangerous. A person could become
caught between the liftgate and an
obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious
injury.
Never allow children to operate the
power liftgate system:
Allowing children to operate the
power liftgate switch and the keyless
entry system is dangerous. Children are
not aware of the dangers of people
getting fingers and hands caught in a
moving liftgate. If someone's neck,
head or hands get caught in a closing
door, it could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
When closing the power liftgate,
