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
