Cargo can fall out of an open tail-
gate while the vehicle is in motion,
resulting in an unexpected accident.
Do not travel with the tailgate open.

Before closing the tailgate, ensure that
none of your body parts are trapped. Also,
because the tailgate is heavy, it might un-
expectedly fall down and close. To pre-
vent any injury, close the tailgate with
caution.
