LIFTGATE
To open the rear window, pull the
right side of the liftgate handle.
To open the liftgate, pull the left
side of the liftgate handle.
• Do not open the liftgate or
liftgate glass in a garage or other
enclosed area with a low ceiling.
If the liftgate glass is raised and
the liftgate is also opened, both
liftgate and glass could be
damaged against a low ceiling.
• Do not leave the liftgate or liftgate glass open while driving. Doing so
could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well
as allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.
WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are
closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the
vehicle. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can
injure your lungs and cause drowsiness and even death. This
will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you
must drive with the liftgate door or window open, keep the
vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.
LUGGAGE RACK
The maximum load for the roof rack is 44 kg (100 lbs), evenly
distributed on the crossbars. If it is not possible to evenly distribute the
load, position it in the center or as far forward on the crossbars (if
equipped) as possible. Always use the adjustable tie down loops to
secure the load.
To adjust the cross-bar (if equipped) position:
1. Loosen the thumbwheel at both ends of the cross-bar (both
cross-bars are adjustable).
2. Slide the cross-bar to the desired location.
3. Tighten the thumbwheel at both ends of the cross-bar.
