Your vehicle is equipped with a tailgate emergency release lever located at the bottom of the tailgate.
If someone is accidentally locked in the cargo area, you can open the tailgate by following these steps:
1. Remove the cover.
2. Push the lever to the right.
3. Lift the tailgate.
WARNING
- It is recommended that you know the location of the emergency release lever and how to open the liftgate if you are trapped in the luggage compartment.
- The rear cargo area of the vehicle must never be occupied by passengers. The rear cargo area is extremely dangerous in the event of an accident.
- Use the emergency release lever only in an emergency. Use with extreme caution while the vehicle is in motion.
