Liftgate

travel path of the liftgate is clear

when it is closed, as with all closing
procedures.

When the liftgate is open, the
dimension from the ground to the

upper edge is more than 6.5 feet (two
meters). Please keep this in mind when
opening the liftgate (in a garage, for
example).

Operate the vehicle only when
both gates are completely closed.

Otherwise, exhaust fumes could pene-
trate the interior of the vehicle. Should it
be absolutely necessary to operate the
vehicle with an open gate:
>

Close all windows. Shut the sliding/
tilt sunroof.

Increase the air supply for automatic
climate control to a high level. Refer

Luggage straps

Use the retaining straps on the cargo
area floor to secure smaller items of
luggage.

Movement is reduced when objects are
placed on the straps.

The lashing eyes located at the corners
of the cargo area provide you with a
convenient means of attaching luggage
nets

or flexible straps for securing

suitcases and luggage.
