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.
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 and select the control
setting that will force outside air into your
vehicle. See Climate Control System on
page 3-22 or Dual Climate Control System on
page 3-25.
CAUTION: (Continued)

even slightly.
