Hatchback

Opening and Closing the Hatchback

To open the hatchback from the outside:
1. Put the key into the lock located on the right
side, in the tail lamp just above the bumper.
2. Turn the key to the right to unlock.
3. Remove the key before you close the
hatchback.
NOTE: When the hatch is unlocked the cargo
lamp will illuminate.
4. Using both hands, shut the hatchback
completely. Do not slam it.
5. Pull up on the hatchback to make sure it is
securely latched.
To prevent premature wear or damage to the
hatchback lift cylinders and attaching hardware,
the hatchback must be fully closed before you
drive your vehicle.
If you drive with the hatchback lid open,
you will draw dangerous exhaust fumes
into your vehicle.
If you must drive like this, keep the vents open
so outside air comes into the vehicle.
