Liftgate
{ CAUTION
Exhaust gases may enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with
any objects that pass through the
seal between the body and the
trunk/hatch or liftgate. Engine
exhaust contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which cannot be
seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle must be driven with
the liftgate, or trunk/hatch open:
• Close all of the windows.
• Fully open the air outlets on or
under the instrument panel.
• Adjust the Climate Control
system to a setting that brings
in only outside air and set the
fan speed to the highest
setting. See Climate Control
System in the Index.

• If the vehicle is equipped with
a power liftgate, disable the

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.
