support rod to its original position.
2. Slowly lower the hood to about 8 to 12 in
(20 to 30 cm) approximately the hood lock,

WARNING
.
Always be sure the liftgate has been closed
securely to prevent it from opening while
driving.
.
Do not drive with the liftgate open. This
could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “Exhaust gas (carbon
monoxide)” (P.5-5).
.
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the vehi-
cle and or its systems, including entrap-
ment in windows or inadvertent door lock
activation, do not leave children, people
who require the assistance of others or pets
unattended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed vehicle on
a warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.
.
Always be sure that hands and feet are
clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing the liftgate.
.
When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the
liftgate. If you open the liftgate without
removing it, there is a possibility that the
liftgate may close suddenly due to the
weight of that snow or ice.
