WARNING
Exhaust gases can enter the

liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with
any objects that pass through
the seal between the body

Engine exhaust contains Carbon

seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.

If you open the liftgate
without checking for overhead
obstructions such as a garage
door, you could damage the
liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure the
area above and behind the liftgate
is clear before opening it.
Press the touchpad located in the
handle of the liftgate, above the
license plate, and lift up to open.
Do not press the touchpad while
closing the liftgate. This will cause
the liftgate to be unlatched.
Always close the liftgate before
driving.
