WARNING

  • Ensure that both cables are properly connected and secured before using the tailgate or applying any load on it.
  • Do not drive with the tailgate down even at low speeds. This may result in death or personal injury.
  • Before opening either by with the handle or remote key or smart key check that no one is in its path of travel.
