  2. Slide the latch in the direction of the arrow to unlock the liftgate.

  3. Push the liftgate to open.

  • For emergencies, be fully aware of the location of the emergency liftgate safety release latch in the vehicle and how to open the liftgate if you are accidentally locked in the cargo area.

  • No one, including animals, should be allowed to occupy the cargo area of the vehicle at any time. The cargo area is a very dangerous location in the event of a collision.
