Midgate - Cadillac ESCALADE EXT 2005 Owner's Manual

Midgate

CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo
area covered and the tailgate and the midgate
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 cargo
covers on and the tailgate and midgate open
or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the midgate:
•
Make sure all windows are shut.
•
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed on the setting
that brings in outside air. This will force
outside air into your vehicle. See Dual
Automatic 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 2-37.
