Liftgate/Liftglass

CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass 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 or liftglass:
•
Make sure all other windows are shut.
•
Turn the fan on your climate control system
to its highest speed and select the control
setting that will force outside air into your
vehicle. See "Climate Control System"
in the Index.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-31.
