RELEASE
To unlock the tailgate, turn the key
clockwise twice, push the rear of the
master door lock switch, or push the

To open the tailgate, push the
release, and lift up. To close the
tailgate, use the tailgate handle to
lower it, then press down on the

Unlocking the Tailgate
RELEASE LEVER
If the power door lock system cannot
unlock the tailgate, unlock it
manually.
Push the release lever to the lower
right as shown.
If you need to unlock the tailgate
manually, it means there is a
problem with the tailgate. Have the
vehicle checked by your dealer.
Place a cloth on the top side of the
cover to prevent scratches, then use
a small flat-tip screwdriver to remove
the cover on the back of the tailgate.
