Liftgate
{
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the liftgate
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate:
•
Make sure all other windows are shut.
•
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System on page 3-19.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-32.
The liftgate can be locked and unlocked from
outside of the vehicle by inserting the key into the
lock and turning it. The Remote Keyless Entry
transmitter, if the vehicle has one, can also be used.
Then pull up the handle above the license plate to
open the liftgate.
When closing the liftgate, close it from the center to
make sure it fully latches.
