Liftgate Release - JMC Jimmy 1998 Owner's Manual

Remote Rear Glass Release
This button on the
passenger's side of the
steering column allows you
to release the rear glass
from inside the vehicle.
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, your shift
lever must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) for the
release to work.
If you have a manual transmission, either with or
without the Keyless Entry option, you must apply your
parking brake or have the ignition off before you can
open the endgate glass.
Liftgate Release
Insert the key in the lock button and turn to the left. All
doors will unlock. You may also use the power lock
switches or the Keyless Entry System, if your vehicle is
so equipped. Use the handle to open the liftgate. Press
the button to open the glass when the liftgate is closed.
The glass won't release if the vehicle is in gear.
