Liftgate (Hatchback And Wagon) - Chevrolet Optra 2005 Owner's Manual

Liftgate (Hatchback and Wagon)

CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
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 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 3-21.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-31.
To unlock the liftgate on your hatchback or wagon from
outside of the vehicle, insert the key into the lock
cylinder and turn it clockwise or use the remote keyless
entry transmitter, if equipped. Then pull up the handle
above the license plate to open the liftgate.
When closing the liftgate, close from the center to
ensure it fully latches.
To lock the liftgate, insert the key into the lock cylinder
and turn it counterclockwise or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter, if equipped.
