gate cannot be opened
CAUTION
Never operate the rear gate open
lever with fingers because doing so
may cause an injury. Always use a
flat-head screwdriver or a similar
tool.
In the event that you cannot open the rear
gate by operating the rear gate opener
button, you can open it from inside the
cargo area.

buttons facing you, and touch the
push-button ignition switch with it.
When the communication between the

completed, a chime (ding) will sound.

ignition switch turns to the “ACC” or
“ON” position.

turns to the “ACC” or “ON” position,
while depressing the brake pedal,
press the push-button ignition switch.
