bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.

Before opening the tailgate, check
overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.

When closing the tailgate, gently
pull down from the center, to
prevent damage to the glass, the

Be sure objects will fit in the load
compartment before closing.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Caution
Do not store heavy or sharp
objects in the rear storage
compartments of the load
compartment. The objects could
damage the underside of the load
