Honda CR-V: Handling the Unexpected / When You Cannot Open the Tailgate
If you cannot open the tailgate, use the following procedure:
- Use a flat-tip screwdriver and remove the
cover on the inside of the tailgate.
- Wrap the flat-tip screwdriver with a cloth
to prevent scratches.

- To open the tailgate, push the tailgate
while pushing the lever to the right using a
flat-tip screw driver.


Following up:
After taking these steps, contact a dealer to have the
vehicle checked.
When you open the tailgate from inside, make sure
there is enough space around the tailgate, and it
does not hit anyone or any object.
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
