Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in and around the engine compartment to
ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects are removed from the engine room
area or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other combustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and correctly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted approximately 12 in. (30 cm) from the
closed position) and push down to
securely lock in place. Then double
check to be sure the hood is secure.
If the hood can be raised slightly, it is
not securely locked. Open it again and
close it with more force.
WARNING

[Before closing the hood, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the hood opening.

[ Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before
driving away. Check there is no
hood open warning light or message
displayed on the instrument cluster.
Driving with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.

[ Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed, which might result in
an accident, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
Liftgate
Opening the liftgate
OOSN051011N
Make sure the vehicle is in P (Park) and
set the parking brake.
Then do one of the following:
1. With the doors unlocked, press the
liftgate handle button and open the
liftgate.
2. If the doors are locked, you can have the smart Key in your possession,
press the liftgate handle button and

Convenient Features5-56
Closing the liftgate
OOSN051012N
Lower the liftgate lid and press down
until it locks. To be sure the liftgate lid is
securely fastened, always check by trying
to pull it up again without pressing the
liftgate handle button.
WARNING
Always keep the liftgate lid completely
closed while the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and serious
illness or death may result.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the liftgate lift
cylinders and the attached hardware,
always close the liftgate before driving.
Information
In cold and wet climates, liftgate lock
and liftgate mechanisms may not work
properly due to freezing conditions.
WARNING
OOSN051103N
Do not hold the part (gas lifter) that
supports the liftgate. Be aware that
the deformation of the part may cause
vehicle damage and a risk of injury.
WARNING

[ NEVER allow anyone to occupy the
luggage compartment of the vehicle
at any time. If the liftgate 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 luggage 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 vehicle’s crush zone.

[ Your vehicle should be kept locked
and keys should be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in luggage
compartments.
