Tailgate
Warning
Exhaust gases can enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
tailgate or boot/hatch open,
or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the
body and the boot/hatch or
tailgate. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death.
If the vehicle must be driven with
the tailgate or boot/hatch open:
Close all of the windows.
Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.
Warning (Continued)
Adjust the climate control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air and
set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See Climate
Control Systems in the
Index.
If the vehicle is equipped with
a power tailgate, disable the
power tailgate function.
See Engine Exhaust on
page 9-21.
To avoid damage to the tailgate or
tailgate glass, make sure the area
above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.
