cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the tailgate before driv-
ing.
In cold and wet climates, tailgate
lock and tailgate mechanisms may
not work properly due to freezingconditions.
NOTICE
i

taining carbon monoxide (CO)
may enter the vehicle and seri-
ous illness or death may result.

that supports the tailgate. Be
aware that the deformation of the
part may cause vehicle damage
and a risk of safety accident.
WARNING
OOS047085
NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the luggage compartment of
the vehicle at any time. If the
tailgate is partially or totally
latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur due
to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The lug-
gage compartment is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.

locked and keys should be
kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. Parents should teach
their children about the dan-
gers of playing in luggage
