ADJUSTMENT OF TAILGATE HEIGHT

M1424003500116

Rotate the damper by using arrow mark on the 
damper as a guide to adjust the tailgate height. The 
damper height is altered by roughly 3 mm when the 
damper is rotated once.
NOTE: If a rattling noise is heard due to the vibration 
of the tailgate when the vehicle is being driven, 
adjust the damper height until the damper is seated 
on the vehicle body. The damper should be seated 
on the vehicle body regardless of a rattling noise.

tailgate lock release handle when the tailgate is 
unlocked with the vehicle stationary, refer to GROUP
