Mazda 2008 Tribute Automobile User Manual


 
Do not leave the liftgate or liftgate glass open while driving. Doing so
could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as
allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.
WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are
closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the
vehicle. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can
injure your lungs and cause drowsiness and even death. This
will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you
must drive with the liftgate door or window open, keep the
vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.
