Lockout Protection

The lockout protection feature may prevent you from
locking your key in your vehicle. Pressing the power
door lock switch will lock all doors, then unlock
the driver's door, if the key is in the ignition when a door
is opened.
If you leave the key in your vehicle but not in the
ignition or if you use the manual door lock, you could
still lock the key in the vehicle. Always remember to take
the key with you.

Leaving Your Vehicle

If you are leaving the vehicle, take your key, open your
door and set the locks from the inside. Then get out
and close the door.
Liftgate/Tailgate
{
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftgate/tailgate open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the liftgate/tailgate open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body
and the liftgate/tailgate:
•
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" in the Index.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See "Engine Exhaust" in the Index.
