The security alarm system is for alerting the
surrounding area of suspicious behaviour to
prevent unlawful entry into the vehicle by
operating an alarm if a door or the tailgate is
opened when the vehicle has not been
unlocked using the keyless entry system or
the keyless operation function.
Always keep the release lever lid on tail-
gate closed when driving so that your lug-
gage cannot accidentally bump the lever
and open the tailgate.
To close
When closing the tailgate, do not close it
directly putting the hands on the tailgate
grip. If the hands or arms got caught, a seri-
ous injury could result.
Gas struts (B) are installed to support the
tailgate.
To prevent damage or faulty operation.
• Do not hold the gas struts when closing the
tailgate.
• Also, do not push or pull the gas struts.
• Do not attach any plastic material, tape,
etc., to the gas struts.
• Do not tie string, etc., around the gas struts.
• Do not hang any object on the gas struts.
Security alarm system
Do not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to
malfunction.
