After unlocking, raise the liftgate.
Pull the liftgate grip (A) downward as illus-
trated and release it before the liftgate closes
completely. Gently slam the liftgate from the
outside so that it is completely closed.
Liftgate
It is dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open since carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
enter the passenger compartment.
CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
When opening and closing the liftgate,
make sure that there are no people nearby
and be careful not to hit your head or
pinch your hands, neck, etc.
Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.
Locking and unlocking the doors by using
power door locks (driver and front passenger
side), keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-
key operation (vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key) also locks and unlocks the lift-
gate.
To open
Make sure there is no one standing nearby
when opening the liftgate.
The liftgate cannot be raised if it is not raised
immediately after pressing the liftgate OPEN
switch.
If this happens, raise the liftgate again after
pressing the liftgate OPEN switch.
It is not possible to open the liftgate while
the battery is disconnected. If necessary, use
the inside liftgate release.
When the battery is reconnected, all doors
and the liftgate will be locked. Unlock them
before trying to open the liftgate.
To close
To avoid injuring your hand or arm, do not
attempt to close the liftgate without releasing
the liftgate grip (A).
Before starting the vehicle, be sure to con-
firm that the liftgate is locked. If the liftgate
opens while driving the vehicle, objects
stored in the luggage compartment could fall
out into the road.
