MANUAL LIFTGATE

WARNINGS

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a crash, people riding in

these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.

WARNINGS

Make sure to close and latch the
liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust
fumes into your vehicle. This will also

prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.

Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.

Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This
could damage the liftgate and its
components.

Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while
driving. This could damage the liftgate and
its components.
