Tailgate The tailgate will lock when you lock the driver's door, and will unlock when you unlock all doors. You can change the ''DOOR LOCK MODE'' setting on the multiinformation display (see page 105). SWITCH PULL POCKET HANDLE To open the tailgate, press and hold the switch, then lift up. To close the tailgate, use the tailgate handle or the pull pockets to lower the tailgate, then press down on the back edge. Keep the tailgate closed at all times while driving to avoid damaging the tailgate and to prevent exhaust gas from getting into the interior. See Carbon Monoxide Hazard on page 57. 128
