. To prevent dangerous exhaust
gas from entering the vehicle,
always keep the trunk lid closed
while driving.
. Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the
trunk could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious

Keys and doors/Trunk lid (Legacy)
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release
handle. If the driver starts the vehi-
cle without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
CAUTION
.Do not close the lid while grip-
ping the release handle. The
handle may be damaged.
. Do not use the handle as a hook
to fasten straps or ropes to
secure your cargo in the trunk.
Such use may result in damage
of the handle.
. Load the trunk so that cargo
cannot strike the release handle.
If the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic
safety hazard. !
Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice
a year to check the release handle for
correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver with a thin
blade. Slide the flat-head screwdriver
blade from the slit aperture of the lock
assembly fully to the end until you hear a
click.
This places the latch in the locked posi-
tion.
3. Move the release handle, from outside

gate open.
. Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear gate when open-
ing or closing the rear gate and
when loading or unloading car-
go.
& Power rear gate (if equipped)
WARNING

rear gate, etc.)
– Make sure there are no people
around the rear gate.
– Never let anyone get close to
the rear gate.
. When closing the rear gate, be
extremely careful to prevent any-
one ’s fingers, arms, neck, head
or other objects from being
caught in the rear gate. Other-
wise, serious personal injury
may be caused by entrapment.
. After opening the rear gate on a
slope by using the power rear
gate feature, the rear gate may
close. Make sure that the rear
gate has stopped completely
after opening it.
. When leaving the vehicle, always
carry the key for safety and never
allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to
follow this procedure could re-
sult in injury to a child operating
the power rear gate.
. The driver should be aware of
and pay careful attention to his/
her responsibilities.
. Use the power rear gate only
when the area around the rear
gate is clearly visible and when
you have checked that there is
no danger of people being
caught in the gate.
CAUTION
. When closing the rear gate after
opening it, make sure to use the
power rear gate. If you close the
rear gate manually with extra
force, the power rear gate may
be damaged.
. Do not install any accessories

cannot support the rear gate
sufficiently when opening the
rear gate. Also, the power rear
gate may not function properly or
