Liftgate closing procedure
To make the liftgate swing downward, reach up and pull the
1.
lower edge of the liftgate (or the loop handle on the inner
trim panel of vehicles with this option) and pull downward.
When you have pulled down the liftgate enough so that you
2.
can reach the license plate light shield, push the shield down
and forward to close the latch and liftgate. At this point, the
latch is not locked.
You can lock the liftgate latch by pushing down the
3.
night-lock button (located on the inside of the liftgate at the
bottom of the window) before you pull down and close the
liftgate. You can also lock the liftgate latch by inserting your
vehicle's door key and turning it counterclockwise after you
have closed the liftgate, or by using the power door locks on
the front doors or the power lock switch in the cargo area.
The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. You
can open and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. It
cannot be opened from inside the cargo area.
Cargo Net (If equipped)
The cargo net is designed to hold your cargo upright between
the third row bench seat and the liftgate to prevent it from
moving around the cargo area.
To install the cargo net:
Attach the loops on the four corners of the net to the four
retainers on the cargo area rear quarter panels. Pull on the net
to be sure that it is fastened securely.
Be sure to secure all four loops into the retainers. The
cargo restrained in the net must not exceed 50 lbs.
(22.5 kg) or the net may not stay secured.
