tailgate are closed and locked.

Your vehicle has a door and tailgate
open indicator on the multi-
information display to indicate when
a specific door or the tailgate is not
tightly closed. You will see the
appropriate indicator and the
message for each condition.
When one or more doors are not
tightly closed, the ''DOOR OPEN''
message will come on.
When the tailgate is not tightly
closed, the ''TAILGATE OPEN''
message will come on.
When both tailgate and one or more
doors are not tightly closed, the
''DOOR & TAILGATE OPEN''
message will come on.
You will also hear a beep when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, and each time you open
any door or the tailgate with the key
in the ON (II) position.
