Rear cargo area
Occupants should never ride in
the rear cargo area where no
restraints are available. To
avoid injury in the event of an
accident or sudden stops, occu-
pants should always be proper-
ly restrained.
WARNING
Always keep the tailgate lid
completely closed while the
vehicle is in motion. If it is left
open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon
monoxide (CO) may enter the
vehicle and serious illness or
death may result.
WARNING
Do not hold the part (gas lifter)
that supports the tail gate. Be
aware that the deformation of
the part may cause vehicle dam-
age and a risk of safety acci-
dent.

Exhaust fumes
If you drive with the tailgate
opened, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
which can cause serious injury
or death to vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the tail-
gate opened, keep the air vents
and all windows open so that
additional outside air comes
into the vehicle.
