'06 MATRIX_U (L/O 0508) Back door CAUTION Keep the back door and glass hatch closed while driving. This not only keeps the luggage from being thrown out but also prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle. NOTICE To prevent damage to the back door and glass hatch dampers, do not apply any force, paint or let any other foreign matter on them. LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it. To lock: Turn the key clockwise. If you turn the key fully clockwise, the glass hatch will open. (See "Glass hatch" on page 25 in this Section.) To unlock: Turn the key counterclockwise. To open the back door, pull the lock release lever. Operating the power door lock switch or wireless remote control transmitter simultaneously locks or unlocks the back door. (See "-Locking and unlocking doors" on page 15 and "Side doors" on page 18 in this Section.) When closing the back door, the inside handle can be used to make the reach easier. To close the back door, lower it and press down on it. After closing the back door, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely closed. See "-Stowage precautions" on page 206 in Section 2 for precautions when loading luggage. 24
