gate. When someone is inadvertent-
ly locked in the cargo area, the lift-
gate can be opened by pushing the
release lever and pushing open the
liftgate.

Occupants should never ride in
the rear cargo area where no
restraints are available.
Occupants should always be
properly restrained.

Driving with the liftgate open is
not advisable. Dangerous
exhaust fumes can enter the
passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the liftgate
opened, keep the air vents and
all windows open so that addi-
tional outside air can enter.

occupy the cargo area of the
vehicle at any time.The cargo
area is a very dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash.
Use the release lever for
emergencies only. Use with
extreme caution, especially
while the vehicle is in motion.
