Honda CR-V: Unlocking the Tailgate

If the power door lock system cannot
unlock the tailgate, unlock it
manually.
Place a cloth on the top side of the
cover to prevent scratches, then use
a small flat-tip screwdriver to remove
the cover on the back of the tailgate.

If you need to unlock the tailgate
manually, it means there is a
problem with the tailgate. Have the
vehicle checked by your dealer.
