Rear Hatch and Dutch Doors Release
If you have this option, your vehicle must be in either PARK
(P)
or
NEUTRAL
(N)
to release the hatch and unlock the Dutch doors.
If
your
battery is dead, the hatch and doors will not open, even from the outside
with a key.
To
release the hatch
and unlock the doors
from the inside of the
vehicle, press the
HATCH REL switch
on the instrument
panel. It is located on
the driver’s side of the
steering column. The
hatch will release with
or without the key in
the ignition.
Then, pull up on the hatch handle and open the doors.
To release the hatch using the optional Keyless Entry hand held transmitter,
see “Keyless Entry System” in the Index.
To release the hatch
and unlock the doors
from the outside of the
vehicle, put the key in
the lock and turn
clockwise. Then, pull
up on the hatch and
open the right rear
door first. Grasp the
handle and pull the
door open.
The hatch and doors will automatically lock when
the
hatch is shut.
If the hatch is partially closed, the rear doors will lock and you will need to
use the key or HATCH
REL
switch to unlock them.
Also, see the Caution under “Swing Out Windows”, located in this section.
