Warning
If the gas struts that hold
open the hood, trunk, and/or
liftgate fail, you or others
could be seriously injured.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer for service
immediately. Visually inspect
the gas struts for signs of
wear, cracks, or other
damage periodically. Check
to make sure the hood/
trunk/liftgate is held open
with enough force. If struts
are failing to hold the hood/
trunk/liftgate, do not
operate. Have the vehicle
serviced.
Caution
Do not apply tape or hang
any objects from gas struts.
Also do not push down or
pull on gas struts. This may
cause damage to the
vehicle.
