Before Driving

Doors and Locks

Never allow children to operate the 

power liftgate system:

Allowing children to operate the power 

liftgate switch and the keyless entry 

system is dangerous. Children are not 

aware of the dangers of people getting 

fingers and hands caught in a moving 

liftgate. If someone's neck, head or 

hands get caught in a closing door, it 

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION



  When closing the power liftgate, 

make sure there are no foreign objects 

around the striker. If foreign objects are 

obstructing the striker, the liftgate may 

not close properly.

Striker



  Do not install accessories to the power 

liftgate other than specified accessories. 

Otherwise, it cannot be opened/closed 

automatically and could result in a 

malfunction.



  Be careful when switching the power 

liftgate from electrical to manual 

operation. The power liftgate may open/

close unexpectedly depending on its 

position which could result in injury.

NOTE



  Do not apply unnecessary force to 

the power liftgate when it is opening/

closing electrically. Unnecessary force 

on the liftgate may cause it to reverse 

direction of movement automatically. 

Also, it could result in a malfunction.



  The power liftgate may not open/close 

electrically if the vehicle is parked on 

an incline, or there is strong wind, or 

the liftgate is laden with snow.



  If a power liftgate system fuse has 

blown, the liftgate cannot be opened 

using the power liftgate switch or 

the electric liftgate opener. Use the 

emergency lever to open the liftgate.



  Fully close the power liftgate before 

disconnecting the vehicle battery. If 

the battery is disconnected with the 

liftgate open, it cannot be opened or 

closed automatically after the battery is 

reconnected. If this happens, fully close 

the liftgate manually to restore the auto 

full open/close function.



  If the system detects weight such as that 

caused by a snow-laden liftgate when 

it is opened electrically, after the beep 

activates three times, the liftgate stops 

after reversing.



  If the power liftgate is snow-laden, 

remove the snow before operating the 

liftgate.
