Chevrolet 2001 manual Endgate/Liftgate, Endgate Release

Endgate/Liftgate

CAUTION:

It can be dangerous to drive with the rear window, endgate or 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 rear window, endgate or liftgate open or if electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass through the seal between the body and the rear window, endgate or liftgate:

DMake sure all other windows are shut.

DTurn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed with the setting on VENT or OUTSIDE AIR. That will force outside air into your vehicle. See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

DIf you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way.

See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
