Lift gate (Hardtop models)

WARNING

Always be sure the lift gate has been closed securely to prevent it from opening while driving.
Do not drive with the lift gate open.

This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle.

See “Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section of this manual.
Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls.

Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
Always be sure that hands and feet are clear of the door frame to avoid injury while closing the lift gate
