Liftgate
Closing the liftgate
僅 To close the liftgate, lower and push
down the liftgate firmly. Make sure
that the liftgate is securely latched.
Make sure your hands, feet and other
parts of your body are safely out of the
way before closing the liftgate.
Exhaust fumes
The liftgate lid should be always kept
completely closed while the vehicle is in
motion. If it is left open or ajar, poison
-
ous exhaust gases may enter the car
and serious illness or death may result.
Make sure nothing is near the liftgate
latch and striker while closing the lift
-
gate. It may damage the liftgate's latch.
Emergency liftgate safety release

2. Push the mechanical key to the right

gate in case you are accidentally
locked in the liftgate.
僅 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 conditions. The liftgate is also
a highly dangerous location in the
event of a crash because it is not a
protected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle's crush zone.
僅 Your vehicle should be kept locked
and the Smart Key should be kept out
of the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about the
dangers of playing in liftgates.
僅 Use the release lever for emergencies
only.
