6.5. Tailgate

Always be sure the tailgate has been closed securely to prevent it from opening while driving.

Do not drive with the tailgate open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle.

To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and or its systems, including entrapment in windows or inadvertent door lock activation, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

Always be sure that hands and feet are clear of the door frame to avoid injury while closing the tailgate.
