TAILGATE HANDLE
To close the tailgate, hold the tailgate
handle, lower the tailgate, then press
down on the back edge.
Keep the tailgate closed at all times
while driving to avoid damaging the
tailgate and to prevent exhaust gas
from getting into the interior. See
Carbon Monoxide Hazard on page
53.
Unlocking the Tailgate

If the power door lock system cannot
unlock the tailgate, unlock it
manually.
Place a cloth on the edge of the cover
to prevent scratches, then use a
small flat-tip screwdriver to remove
the cover on the back of the tailgate.
