Acura 2013 MDX - Manual (Page 149)

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
Carbon Monoxide Hazard on
page 61.
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.
Unlocking the Tailgate
If the power door lock system
cannot unlock the tailgate, unlock
it manually.
Use a small flat-tip 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.
