When the glass hatch, tailgate, and
one or more doors are open, the
''DOOR, HATCH & TAILGATE
OPEN'' message will come on.
Locking the doors, the glass hatch,
and the tailgate reduces the chance
of someone being thrown out of the
vehicle during a crash, and it helps
prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door, the
glass hatch, or the tailgate and
falling out.
Locking the doors, the glass hatch
and the tailgate also helps prevent an
outsider from unexpectedly opening
a door, the glass hatch, or the
tailgate when you come to a stop.
