1. After unlocking, push the liftgate open
switch (A) and raise the liftgate.
Always keep the doors tightly closed and
locked when driving. An unlocked door
may be accidentally opened by a passen-
ger, especially by a child who could fall
out. Also, if the doors are not locked, there
is a greater risk of someone being thrown
from the vehicle in an accident.
Liftgate (except for vehicles
equipped with the power
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.
If snow or ice has accumulated on the lift-
gate, remove it before opening the liftgate.
Otherwise the liftgate may abruptly close
due to the weight of the snow or ice.
When opening the liftgate, always fully
open it. A partially opened liftgate can
unexpectedly close due to its own weight.
When the vehicle is parked on a slope, the
effort required to open or close the liftgate
may be greater or less than expected.
The liftgate may also open or close more
quickly.
Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. Heat from
the exhaust could lead to burns.
To avoid damage to the liftgate, make sure
that area above and behind the liftgate is
clear before opening it.
Locking and unlocking the doors by using
power door locks (driver and front passenger
side), keyless entry system, or 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.
