To unlock the liftgate, use the power door lock
switch or press the door unlock button on
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter twice.
See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 100.
To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the
underside of the liftgate handle. The vehicle must
be in PARK (P) to open the liftgate. To close
the liftgate, use the pull cup or pull strap as an aid.
The liftgate has an electric latch. If the battery is
disconnected or has low voltage, the liftgate
will not open. 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, your vehicle should be taken to a
dealership for service.

{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftgate open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You
cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate open, or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the
body and the liftgate:
• Make sure all other windows are shut.
• Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the
recirculation mode off. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System on page 194.
CAUTION: (Continued)
