liftgate, always verify that they are  
securely closed:  
Doors and the liftgate not securely  
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is  
driven with a door and the liftgate not  
securely closed, the door and the  
liftgate could open unexpectedly  
resulting in an accident.  
WARNING  
Always take all children and pets with  
you or leave a responsible person  
with them:  
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in  
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot  
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle  
can become high enough to cause  
brain damage or even death.  
Always confirm the safety around the  
vehicle before opening a door and the  
liftgate:  
Suddenly opening a door and the  
liftgate is dangerous. A passing vehicle  
or a pedestrian could be hit and cause  
an accident.  
Do not leave the key in your vehicle  
with children and keep them in a  
place where your children will not  
find or play with them:  
CAUTION  
Leaving children in a vehicle with the  
key is dangerous. This could result in  
someone being badly injured or even  
killed.  
Always confirm the conditions  
around the vehicle before opening/  
closing the doors and the liftgate and  
use caution during strong winds or  
when parked on an incline. Not  
being aware of the conditions  
around the vehicle is dangerous  
because fingers could get caught in  
the door and the liftgate or a passing  
pedestrian could be hit, resulting in  
an unexpected accident or injury.  
Keep all doors locked when driving:  
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle  
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out  
if a door is accidentally opened and  
can more easily be thrown out in an  
accident.  
Always close all the windows and  
moonroof, lock the doors, fuel-filler  
lid, and liftgate and take the key with  
you when leaving your vehicle  
unattended:  
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is  
dangerous as children could lock  
themselves in a hot vehicle, which  
could result in death. Also, a vehicle  
left unlocked becomes an easy target  
for thieves and intruders.  
NOTE  
Always stop the engine and lock the  
doors. In addition, to prevent theft of  
valuables, do not leave them inside  
the cabin.  
If the key is left in the following areas  
and you leave the vehicle, the doors  
may be locked depending on the  
radio wave conditions even if the key  
is left in the vehicle.

This system automatically unlocks the  
doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate in  
the event the vehicle is involved in an  
accident to allow passengers to get  
out of the vehicle immediately and  
prevent being trapped inside. While  
the ignition is switched ON and in  
the event the vehicle receives an  
impact strong enough to inflate the  
air bags, all the doors, fuel-filler lid,  
and liftgate are automatically  
unlocked after about 6 seconds have  
elapsed from the time of the  
accident.  
The doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate  
may not unlock depending on how  
an impact is applied, the force of the  
impact, and other conditions of the  
accident.

WARNING  
Never allow a person to ride in the

2. Unlock  
3. Lock  
Do not drive with the liftgate open:  
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is  
dangerous. An open liftgate in a  
moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas  
to be drawn into the cabin. This gas  
contains CO (carbon monoxide),  
which is colorless, odorless, and highly  
poisonous, and it can cause loss of  
consciousness and death. Moreover,  
an open liftgate could cause occupants  
to fall out in an accident.  
Do not stack or leave loaded luggage  
unsecured in the luggage  
compartment:  
Otherwise, the luggage may move or  
collapse, resulting in injury or an  
accident. In addition, do not load  
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It  
may affect the side or rear field of view.  
CAUTION  
Before opening the liftgate, remove  
any snow and ice accumulation on it.  
Otherwise, the liftgate could close  
under the weight of the snow and ice  
resulting in injury.

Opening and Closing the Liftgate  
Be careful when opening/closing the  
liftgate during strong winds. If a  
strong gust blows against the liftgate,  
it could close suddenly resulting in  
injury.  
Fully open the liftgate and make sure  
that it stays open. If the liftgate is  
only opened partially, it could slam  
shut by vibration or wind gusts  
resulting in injury.  
When loading or unloading luggage  
in the luggage compartment, turn off  
the engine. Otherwise, you could get  
burned by the heat of the exhaust  
gas.  
Opening the liftgate  
Using the electric liftgate opener  
Unlock the doors and liftgate, then  
press the electric liftgate opener on the  
liftgate and raise the liftgate when the

For the power liftgate operation, refer  
to Power Liftgate on page 3-21.  
Be careful not to apply excessive  
force to the damper stay on the  
liftgate such as by putting your hand  
on the stay. Otherwise, the damper  
stay may bend and affect the liftgate  
operation.  
NOTE  
(With the advanced keyless function)  
A locked liftgate can also be opened  
while the key is being carried.  
When opening the liftgate with the

latch to release after the electric  
liftgate opener is pressed.  
The liftgate can be closed when the  
doors are locked with the key left in  
the vehicle. However, to prevent  
locking the key in the vehicle, the  
liftgate can be opened by pressing  
the electric liftgate opener. If the  
liftgate cannot be opened despite  
doing this procedure, first push the  
liftgate completely closed, then press  
the electric liftgate opener to fully  
open the liftgate.

obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a  
liftgate may not close completely and,  
if left unnoticed, could result in serious  
injury or death if an occupant were to  
fall out of the vehicle.

NOTE  
WARNING  
The jam-safe equipment does not  
activate during easy closure operation  
when the power liftgate is between the  
near-shut position and fully closed  
position.  
Always check the area around the  
power liftgate before opening/closing  
it:  
Not checking for occupants and  
objects around the power liftgate  
before opening/closing it is  
dangerous. The jam-safe equipment is  
designed to prevent jamming in the  
event an obstruction is in the liftgate's  
path. The system may not detect  
certain objects obstructing the liftgate  
depending on the way they are  
positioned and their shape. However,  
if the jam-safe function detects an  
obstruction and moves the liftgate in  
the reverse direction, an occupant in  
the liftgate's path could be seriously  
injured.  
When the power liftgate is moving in  
the open/close direction and an  
obstruction is detected, the beep  
sound will be heard and the liftgate  
moves in the reverse direction and  
stops.  
Liftgate easy closure  
The Easy Closure system automatically  
closes the liftgate completely from the  
near-shut position.  
This system also operates when the  
liftgate is closed manually.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
When closing a liftgate, always keep  
hands and fingers away from the  
liftgate:  
Placing hands or fingers around a  
liftgate is dangerous because the  
liftgate closes automatically from the  
near-shut position, which could cause  
hands and fingers to be pinched and  
injured.  
Sensors are installed on both ends of  
the power liftgate. Be careful not to  
allow the sensors to be scratched or  
damaged by sharp objects, otherwise  
the liftgate may no longer open/close  
automatically. In addition, if the sensor  
is damaged while the liftgate is closing  
automatically, the system will stop.  
NOTE  
If the electric liftgate opener is  
pressed while the easy closure  
function is operating, the liftgate can  
be opened.  
If the liftgate is opened/closed  
repeatedly in a short period of time,  
the easy closure function may not  
operate. Wait for about 2 seconds  
and then try again.
