Liftgate

WARNING

● Always be sure the liftgate has been closed securely to prevent it from opening while driving.
● Do not drive with the liftgate open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle. See “Exhaust gas” in the “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 liftgate.
