Liftgate
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass 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 or liftglass:
• Make sure all other windows are shut.
• Turn the fan on your climate control system
to its highest speed and select the control
setting that will force outside air into your
vehicle. See “Climate Control System” in
the Index.
• If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-29.
To lock or unlock the liftgate, press the button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter twice or
the power door lock switch.
To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the
underside of the liftgate handle and pull up.
To close the liftgate, pull down using the handle and
close until it latches.
Liftgate Operation with Loss of Power
To open the liftgate if
the vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or the voltage
is low, access the release
lever.
Remove the interior trim cover on the inside of the
liftgate. Use a tool to push the lever on the latch until
the liftgate releases.
