WARNING
► Always be sure the lift gate has been
closed securely to prevent it from opening
while driving.
► Do not drive with the lift gate open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. See “Exhaust

manual.
► Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved
in serious accidents.
► Always be sure that hands and feet are
clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing the lift gate.
