WARNING
Always keep the tailgate lid completely
closed while the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and serious
illness or death may result.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the tailgate lift
cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the tailgate before driving.
Information
In cold and wet climates, tailgate lock
and tailgate mechanisms may not work
properly due to freezing conditions.
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.

WARNING
• NEVER allow anyone to occupy the
luggage compartment of the vehicle
at any time. If the tailgate is partially
or totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather conditions.
The luggage compartment is also
a highly dangerous location in the
event of a crash because it is not a
protected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle's crush zone.
• Your vehicle should be kept locked
and keys should be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in luggage
compartments.
