These locks are intended to help prevent  
children from accidentally opening the  
rear doors. Use them both whenever a  
child rides in the vehicle.  
WARNING  
Never allow a person to ride in the  
luggage compartment:  
Allowing a person to ride in the  
luggage compartment is dangerous.  
The person in the luggage  
compartment could be seriously

The door can be opened only by pulling  
the outside handle.  
Do not drive with the liftgate open:  
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle  
is dangerous. An open liftgate in a  
moving vehicle will cause exhaust  
gas to be drawn into the cabin. This  
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide),  
which is colorless, odorless, and  
highly poisonous, and it can cause  
loss of consciousness and death.  
Moreover, an open liftgate could  
cause occupants to fall out in an  
accident.
