LIFTGATE
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked by the remote
keyless entry transmitter, or by activating the power door
lock switches located on the front doors.
Once unlocked, the liftgate can be opened or closed. To
open the liftgate, depress the liftgate release switch
located in the exterior handle and pull the liftgate open
with one fluid motion.
The liftgate will not manually open unless the gear
selector is in the PARK position, or the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).
NOTE:
If a power malfunction to the liftgate latch should
occur, an emergency liftgate latch release can be used
to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch
release can be accessed through a snap-in cover lo-
cated on the liftgate trim panel.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison-
ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep
the liftgate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,
make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
DO NOT use the recirculation mode.
