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.
For additional information, see “Ex-
haust gas (carbon monoxide)”
(P. 5-4).
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidently injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Always be sure that hands and feet
are clear of the door frame to avoid
injury while closing the liftgate.
CAUTION
• Before opening the liftgate, be sure
to clear away snow, ice or dust that
may be stuck to the liftgate. If the
liftgate is opened while materials are
still stuck to it, it may suddenly close
again due to the weight of these
materials.
• Always be sure to fully open the lift-
gate. If it is not fully opened, it may
suddenly shut.
• Be especially careful when opening
the liftgate in strong wind. The door
could be caught by a gust of wind
and may close suddenly.
• The liftgate gas stays
O
A
are installed in
order to support the weight of the lift-
gate. In order to prevent the gas stays
being damaged or not operating prop-
erly, be sure to observe the following
points.
• Do not insert hands or cords into the gas
stays
O
A
or apply any force to them
laterally.
• Do not attach any adhesive foreign ma-
terials such as pieces of plastic or stickers
to the rod
O
B
portion.
