Tailgate - Subaru 2005 Baja Owner's Manual

Tailgate

Keep the tailgate closed when the vehicle is
moving. If you must drive with the tailgate
open, use the optional SUBARU Bed Extender
and place the License Plate Bracket at its fully
lowered/open position. Cargo must not stick
out beyond the Extender. Otherwise a danger-
ous road hazard or personal injury could result.
Before opening the tailgate, remove any object on the
upper surface of the rear bumper to avoid damaging
the tailgate.
To open the tailgate, lift up on its handle while pulling
the tailgate toward you. The support cables hold the
tailgate open.
See "Loading your vehicle" section in Chapter 8 for
precautions in loading cargo.
To close the tailgate, firmly push it upward until it latch-
es.
After you put the tailgate back up, pull it back toward
you to be sure it latches securely.
