WARNING
Do not hold the part (gas lifter) that
supports the liftgate. Be aware that
the deformation of the part may cause
vehicle damage and a risk of injury.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to occupy the
luggage compartment of the vehicle
at any time. If the liftgate is partially
or totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack of
ventilation, and rapid heat build-
up, or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The luggage
compartment is also a highly
dangerous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of the
vehicle's crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked
and keys should be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in luggage
compartments.
