WARNING
Exhaust gases can enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
liftgate or trunk/hatch open,
or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the
body and the trunk/hatch or
liftgate. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death.
If the vehicle must be driven with
the liftgate or trunk/hatch open:
. Close all of the windows.
. Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.

WARNING (Continued)
. Adjust the Climate Control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air and
set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See
“ Climate
Control Systems ” in the
Index.
. If the vehicle is equipped with
a power liftgate, disable the
power liftgate function.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see
Engine
Exhaust on page 9 ‑ 21 .
To unlock the liftgate, use the
power door lock switch or press the
door unlock button on the RKE
transmitter twice. See
Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 2
‑ 3 .
To open the liftgate, press the touch
pad under the liftgate handle. The
vehicle must be in P (Park) to open
the liftgate. To close the liftgate, use
the pull cup or pull strap as an aid.
The liftgate will not open if the
battery is disconnected or has low
voltage. The liftgate will resume
operation when the battery is
reconnected and charged.
If the battery is properly connected
and has adequate voltage, and the
liftgate still will not function, the
vehicle should be taken to a dealer
for service.
Power Liftgate Operation
The vehicle may have a power
liftgate. The vehicle must be in
P (Park) to use this feature.

will sound when the power liftgate
