Liftgate

WARNING

Never allow a person to ride in the
luggage compartment:

Allowing a person to ride in the
luggage compartment is dangerous.
The person in the luggage
compartment could be seriously
injured or killed during sudden braking
or a collision.

Do not drive with the liftgate open:

Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is
dangerous. An open liftgate in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas
to be drawn into the cabin. This gas
contains CO (carbon monoxide),
which is colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous, and it can cause loss of
consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate could cause occupants
to fall out in an accident.

Do not stack or leave loaded luggage
unsecured in the luggage
compartment:

Otherwise, the luggage may move or
collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear field of view.
Additionally, if the air bags deploy, the
cargo may scatter which could result in
serious injury or death.

CAUTION



Before opening the liftgate, remove
any snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the liftgate could close
under the weight of the snow and ice
resulting in injury.



Be careful when opening/closing the
liftgate during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the liftgate,
it could close suddenly resulting in
injury.



Fully open the liftgate and make sure
that it stays open. If the liftgate is
only opened partially, it could slam
shut by vibration or wind gusts
resulting in injury.



When loading or unloading luggage
in the luggage compartment, turn off
the engine. Otherwise, you could get
burned by the heat of the exhaust
gas.



Be careful not to apply excessive
force to the damper stay on the
liftgate such as by putting your hand
on the stay. Otherwise, the damper
stay may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.
