WARNING
● To prevent dangerous exhaust
gas from entering the vehicle,
always keep the rear gate closed
while driving.
● Do not attempt to shut the rear gate while holding the recessed grip. Also avoid closing the rear gate by pulling on the recessed grip from inside the cargo space.
There is a danger of your hand being caught and injured.
CAUTION
● 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.
● Be careful not to hit your head or face on the rear gate when opening or closing the rear gate and when loading or unloading cargo.
NOTE
If the rear gate cannot be unlocked due
to a discharged vehicle battery, a
malfunction in the door locking/unlocking
system or other causes, you can
unlock it by manually operating the
rear gate lock release lever. For the
procedure, refer to “Rear gate – if the
rear gate cannot be opened”
