exiting the vehicle easier.
When a door is opened, the
running board for that side of the
vehicle will extend.
When the door is closed, the
running board will retract and
remain underneath the vehicle
until the door is opened again.

■ REAR CARGO AREA

CAUTION
It can be very dangerous to
drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open. Carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can come into your vehicle.
You cannot see or smell CO. It
can cause unconsciousness and
even death.
If you must drive with these
open or with the seal between
the body and liftglass or liftgate
broken, make sure all windows
are closed and turn the fan on
to the highest speed using any
setting that brings in outside
air. Doing this will force outside
air into the vehicle.
