Canceling the Rear Door Security
Locks

2. Push the lever down to disengage the safety lock.
3. Close the door.

door lock.
The rear door locks will now work normally.

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
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" 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.
