To unlock and open the liftgate manually from inside the luggage compartment, perform the following procedure:
-
Insert a long, flat object into the opening at the bottom of the liftgate.
-
Slide the latch in the direction of the arrow to unlock the liftgate
-
Push the liftgate to open.
-
For emergencies, be fully aware of the location of the emergency liftgate safety release lever in the vehicle and how to open the liftgate if you are accidentally locked in the luggage compartment.
-
No one should be allowed to occupy the cargo area of the vehicle at any time. The cargo area is a very dangerous location in the event of a crash.
-
Use the release lever for emergencies only. Use with extreme caution, especially while the vehicle is in motion.
Do not grasp the part supporting the liftgate (gas lifter), as this may cause serious injury.
