WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to ride
on the tailgate, even when the
vehicle is operated at low speeds.
People riding on the tailgate
can easily lose their balance
and fall in response to vehicle
maneuvers. Falling from a moving
vehicle may result in serious
injuries or death. Do not allow
people to ride on the tailgate.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle
is in a seat and using a safety
belt properly.
On vehicles with a lock on the
tailgate, use the key to lock or
unlock the tailgate.
Open the tailgate by lifting up on
its handle while pulling the tailgate
toward you.
To shut the tailgate, firmly push it
upward until it latches.
After you put the tailgate back up,
pull it back towards you to be sure it
latches securely.
Tailgate Removal
The tailgate can be removed to
allow for different loading situations.
Someone may need to assist with
removal to avoid damage to the
vehicle.
On vehicles with a Rear Vision
Camera, it must be disconnected
before removing the tailgate. See
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
on
page 9‑78
for more information.
To remove the tailgate:
1. Raise the tailgate slightly and
release both retaining cable
clips. To release the retaining
cable clips, lift the cable so it
points straight out. Lift the clip
over the bolt, and push the cable
forward then rotate down.
