Kia Sedona: Emergency tailgate safety release
Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency tailgate safety release lever located on the bottom of the tailgate. When someone is inadvertently locked in the cargo area, the tailgate can be opened by pushing the release lever and pushing open the tailgate.
WARNING - Safety release lever use
Unless there is an emergency which requires otherwise, do not use the release lever for the liftgate (tailgete) while the vehicle is in motion. Opening the liftgate (tailgete) while the vehicle is in motion can increase the risk of an occupant falling out of the vehicle and being seriously injured.
