Inside tailgate release
The inside tailgate release is designed to provide a way to open the tailgate in the case of a discharged battery.
The tailgate release lever (see illustration) is mounted on the tailgate.

You and your family should familiarize yourselves with the location and operation of the tailgate release lever.
To open
1. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screwdriver into the notch of the lid (A) and pry gently to open the lid.

2. Move the lever (B) to open the tailgate.

3. Push out on the tailgate to open it.
CAUTION
• Always keep the release lever lid on the tailgate closed when driving so that your luggage cannot accidentally bump the lever and open the tailgate.
