Features of your vehicle
Power tailgate (if equipped)
Detailed information for the power
tailgate is described in the following
"Power sliding door and power tail-
gate" section.
Emergency tailgate safety
release
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency tailgate safety release
lever located on the bottom of the
tailgate. When someone is inadver-
tently locked in the cargo area, the
tailgate can be opened by pushing
the release lever and pushing open
the tailgate.
WARNING - Rear cargo
area
Occupants should never ride in
the rear cargo area where no
restraints are available.
Occupants should always be
properly restrained.
CAUTION - Exhaust fumes
Driving with the tailgate open is
not advisable. Dangerous
exhaust fumes can enter the
passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the tailgate
opened, keep the air vents and
all windows open so that addi-
tional outside air can enter.
WARNING
• For emergencies, be fully
aware of the location of the
emergency tailgate safety
release lever in the vehicle
and how to open the tailgate if
you are accidentally locked in
the cargo area.
• No one should be allowed to
occupy the cargo area of the
vehicle at any time. The cargo
area is a very dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash.
• Use the release lever for
emergencies only. Use with
extreme caution, especially
while the vehicle is in motion.
