Features of your vehicle
WARNING
You and your passengers must be
aware of the location of the
Emergency Liftgate Safety
Release lever in this vehicle and
how to open the liftgate in case
you are accidentally locked in the
liftgate.
NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the liftgate 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, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather condi -
tions. The liftgate is also a highly
dangerous location in the event of
a crash because it is not a pro -
tected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle's crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked
and the Smart Key should be kept
out of the reach of children. Par -
ents should teach their children
about the dangers of playing in
liftgates.
Use the release lever for emer -
gencies only.

WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the cargo area of the vehi -
cle at any time. The cargo area is
a very dangerous location in the
event of a crash.
Use the release lever for emer -
gencies only. Use with extreme
caution, especially while the vehi -
cle is in motion.
CAUTION
Make sure there are no people or
objects around the liftgate before
opening or closing the liftgate. Wait
until the liftgate is open fully and
stopped before loading or unloading
cargo from the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not grasp the part supporting
the liftgate (gas lifter), as this may
cause serious injury.
