Tailgate/Split Rear Barn
Doors

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.

To avoid damage, make sure there is suf-
ficient clearance before opening the tail-

gate/Split Rear Barn Doors.

Opening

In some market-specific versions, the tail-
gate/Split Rear Barn Doors cannot be

unlocked using the remote control unless the
vehicle is unlocked first.
Only drive with the Split Rear Barn Doors fully
closed; otherwise, the tail lamps will be
obscured and driving safety will be compro-
mised.
