Honda CR-V: Unlocking the Tailgate
Honda CR-V (2006–2011) Owner's Manual / Instruments and Controls / 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.
Push the release lever to the lower right as shown.
If you need to unlock the tailgate manually, it means there is a problem with the tailgate. Have the vehicle checked by your dealer.
