Manual Liftgate Operation
With the doors unlocked, the power liftgate can always
be manually opened and closed.
To open the liftgate, pull up on the handle on the outside
of the liftgate. To close the liftgate, use the pull cup to
lower the liftgate and close. The liftgate latch will power
cinch to closed position. Do not force the liftgate during
a power cycle.
Always close the liftgate before driving.
CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can not 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 Dual Climate Control
System on page 3-23.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-39.
