REAR HATCH WARNING Do not drive with the rear hatch open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle. See "Precautions when starting and driving" in the "5. Starting and driving" section for exhaust gas. ¼ Press the power door lock switch to the UNLOCK side. The rear hatch employs a spring component which enables you to lift up the hatch by one hand.
