Liftgate Release
To unlock the liftgate, you may use the power door
locks or the keyless entry system described earlier.
On some vehicles the liftglass will also unlock when
the liftgate is unlocked. Use the pushbutton on the
liftglass to open it.
If the liftglass does not unlock when you unlock
the liftgate, you have to use your key to unlock the
liftglass. Insert the key into the pushbutton and turn
it counterclockwise. With the key turned press in the
pushbutton to open the liftglass.
The liftgate cannot be opened if the liftglass is opened.
To open the entire liftgate, lift the handle located in the
center of the liftgate.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft
-
deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
--
so
don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your ignition and transmission will be locked. Also
remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
