To close the rear gate, lower it slowly and push down
firmly until the latch engages.
The rear gate can be lowered easily if you pull down
on the inside handle as shown in the illustration.
Do not attempt to shut the rear gate while
holding the inside handle. Also avoid closing
the rear gate by pulling on the inside handle
from inside the cargo space. There is a danger
of your hand being caught and injured.
To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from en-
tering the vehicle, always keep the rear gate
closed while driving.
Do not jam a plastic bag in or place cellophane
tape on the rear gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo. That could
cause leakage of gas from the stays, which may
result in their inability to hold the rear gate
open.
NOTE
If the rear gate cannot be unlocked due to a dis-
charged battery, a fault in the door locking/unlock-
ing system or other causes, you can unlock it by
manually operating the rear gate lock release le-
ver.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate – if the rear
gate cannot be unlocked” in chapter 9 “In case of
emergency” .
