WARNING
 When opening the liftgate, always fully
open it. A partially opened liftgate can
unexpectedly close due to its own weight.
 When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the
effort required to open or close the liftgate
may be greater or less than expected.
The liftgate may also open or close more
quickly.
CAUTION
 Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.
 To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure
that area above and behind the liftgate is
clear before opening it.
NOTE
 Locking and unlocking the doors by using
power door locks (driver and front passenger
side), keyless entry system, or F.A.S.T.-key
operation (vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift-
gate.
To open
1. After unlocking, push the liftgate open
switch (A) and raise the liftgate.
