Honda CR-V: Tailgate
The tailgate will lock when you lock the driver’s door with the key, the remote transmitter, the master door lock switch, or the lock tab on the driver’s door.
To unlock the tailgate, turn the key clockwise twice, push the rear of the master door lock switch, or push the UNLOCK button twice on the remote transmitter.

Keep the tailgate closed at all times while driving to avoid damaging the tailgate and to prevent exhaust gas from getting into the interior. See Carbon Monoxide Hazard.
