Tailgate
Locking and unlocking 3-17
3
The tailgate can be locked or unlocked by
using the central door lock switch (driver
side).
After unlocking the tailgate, press the tailgate
opener switch (A) and pull up the tailgate.
The tailgate can also be opened from inside
the vehicle.
It is designed to provide a way to open the
tailgate in the case of a discharged auxiliary
battery.
1. Open the lid (A) inside of the tailgate.
When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the tail-
gate. If you open the tailgate without
removing it, there is a possibility that the
tailgate may close suddenly due to the
weight of that snow or ice.
When you open the tailgate make sure
that the tailgate is opened fully and
remains fully open. If you only open the
tailgate halfway, there is a risk that the
tailgate may drop and slam shut. If you
open the tailgate while your vehicle is
parked on an incline, it is more difficult to
do so than on the flat and also it may sud-
denly open or drop and slam shut.
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 tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.

Repeated continuous operating between lock

locks’ built-in protection circuit to prevent
the system from operating. If this occurs,
wait approximately 1 minute before operat-
ing the central door lock switch.
