Before operating the pow
er liftgate, unlock
the power liftgate by pushing the power doorlock switch or the unlock button on the key-less entry system or F.A.S.T.-key.Refer to “Keyless entry system”, “Free-handAdvanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)” and “Power door locks” on pages 5-7,5-13 and 5-36 respectively.

On vehicles equipped wi
th the mirror retrac-

the liftgate and all
doors are unlocked using the liftgate openswitch (A).
To close
CAUTIONTo avoid injuring your hand or arm, do notattempt to close the lift
gate without releasing
the liftgate grip (B).NOTE
Before starting the vehi
cle, be sure to con-
firm that the liftgate is locked. If the liftgateopens while driving the vehicle, objectsstored in the luggage compartment could fallout into the road.NOTE
Gas struts (C) are installed in the locationsillustrated in order to
support the liftgate.
Please observe the foll
owing in order to pre-
vent damage or faulty operation:• Do not touch, push or pull the gas strutswhen closing the liftgate.• Do not attach any pl
astic material, tape,
etc., to the gas struts.• Do not tie string, etc., around the gas struts.• Do not hang objects on the gas struts.CAUTION

WA R N I N GThe luggage area was not designed forpeople to ride in. Do not let your childrenride in or play in
the luggage area. Riding
or playing in the lu
ggage area could result
in a serious accide
nt and/or injury.
Before driving, make sure the power lift-gate is securely closed.If you drive with th
e power liftgate open,
exhaust gas may enter the vehicle andcause carbon monoxide poisoning.To avoid injury, the power liftgate shouldnot be operated by children.

The power liftgate easy closer is designed tohelp the power liftgate close securely.If the power liftgate is closed to a positionwhere it is detected as being ajar, it closesautomatically.
WA R N I N GWhen the power liftgate is closed manu-ally, the auto reverse mechanism will notoperate even if so
mething is trapped
under the liftgate.CAUTIONMake sure there is no one around the powerliftgate when opening it.NOTE
The liftgate cannot be opened if it is notraised immediately after pressing the powerliftgate open switch.If this happens, raise the liftgate again afterpressing the liftgate open switch.
When the battery is discharged or discon-nected, the power liftgate cannot be openedeven manually. At that time, the liftgate canbe opened only by using the inside liftgaterelease. Refer to “Inside liftgate release” onpage 5-46.CAUTIONThe auto reverse mechanism will not operatewhen the power liftgate
is closed manually.
Therefore be especially careful not to trap ahand or finger.NOTE
Do not fully close the power liftgate withyour hand still on the power liftgate grip.Doing so could trap and injure your hand orarm.

Wind buffeting can be described as the per-ception of pressure on the ears or a boomingor rumbling sound. Your vehicle may exhibitwind buffeting when driving with one or bothrear door windows down or partially opened.This is a normal occurrence that can be mini-mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win-dows as well as the rear door windows tominimize the condition.

WA R N I N GIf the battery terminals are disconnectedor the fuse for electric window is replaced,the safety mechanism will be cancelled.If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious
injury could result.CAUTIONThe safety mechanism is deactivated justbefore the door window closes. This allowsthe door window to close completely. There-fore be especially care
ful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
The safety mechanism is deactivated whilethe switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening.Do not deliberately trap your hands or headin order to activate the safety mechanism.Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if thedriving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to aphysical shock similar to that caused bytrapped hand or head.If the battery terminals are disconnected orthe fuse for power window is replaced, thesafety mechanism will
be cancelled and the
door window will not automaticallyopen/close completely.If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win-dow has been fully closed.Following this, release the switch, raise theswitch once again and hold it in this condi-tion for at least 1 second, then release it. Youshould now be able to operate the driver’sdoor window in the normal function.CAUTION

S-AWC is an integr
ated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance drivingperformance, cornering performance, andvehicle stability over a wide range of drivingconditions through integr
ated management of
the electronically cont
rolled 4WD, the AYC
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC.
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys-tem that improves acceleration performanceand stability performance by controllingfront-rear distribution of driving torque withoperating the electronic control couplingarranged in the rear differential assembly.The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-ential limiting function
and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-rightdriving/braking force by managing the AFD*(Active Front Differential), the brake, theEPS.*: AFD (Active Front Differential)
If the drive mode indicator (4WD) is blink-ing, a problem has occurred with the elec-tronically controlled
4WD. A warning will
also be displayed in

significant difference
in the amount of wear.
Otherwise, the elec
tronically controlled
4WD system may not work properly, and the4WD system warning (overheating or ser-vice required) may displayed.

Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-AWC cannot prevent the natural laws ofphysics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-tem, like any other system, has limits andcannot help you to main
tain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in
all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to
accidents. It is the
driver’s responsibility to drive carefully.This means taking into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.

This is the most fuel efficient mode. Normal operation is in 2WD, but 4WD performance will be provided under slippery conditions.
NORMAL
This mode can be used on both dry and wet roads. The distri-bution of driving/braking torque to each wheel is auto-matically controlled according to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on slippery road surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
