Tailgate
To avoid damage, make sure there is suf-
ficient clearance before opening the tail-
gate. <
While driving, sharp objects or objects
with edges may strike against the rear
window and damage the heating element for
the rear window. Assure that there are no
objects with sharp edges near the rear win-
dow.

Opening
In some market-specific versions, the tail-
gate cannot be unlocked using the remote
control unless the vehicle is unlocked first.
Only drive with the tailgate fully closed; other-
wise, the tail lamps will be obscured and driving
safety will be compromised.
