If you try to drive off with the
tailgate not closed completely, a
beeper sounds and a ‘‘DOOR &
TAILGATE OPEN’’ message is
shown on the multi-information
display.

Keep the tailgate closed at all times
while driving to avoid damaging the
tailgate and to prevent exhaust gas
from getting into the interior. See

on page

.

If there is a problem in the power
tailgate system, you will see a
‘‘CHECK POWER TAILGATE’’
message on the multi-information
display. Have the system checked by
your dealer.

With this message shown on the
multi-information display, you can
still open or close the tailgate
manually.

If the power door lock system cannot
unlock the tailgate, unlock it
manually.

Use a small flat-tipped screwdriver to
remove the cover on the back of the
tailgate.

Push the release lever to the right as
shown.

If you need to unlock the tailgate
manually, it means there is a
problem with the tailgate. Have the
vehicle checked by your dealer.
