Liftgate (Manual)

{
WARNING
Exhaust gases can 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.

WARNING (Continued)
• 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
Systems on page 7-1.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a
power liftgate, disable the
power liftgate function.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see Engine
Exhaust on page 8-22.
Notice: If you open the liftgate
without checking for overhead
obstructions such as a garage
door, you could damage the
liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure the
area above and behind the liftgate
is clear before opening it.
For vehicles without keyless access,
unlock the vehicle before opening
the liftgate.
