Liftgate/Tailgate
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can come into your vehicle. You can not
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 or liftglass:
•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 on page2-40.

Liftgate/Tailgate Release

To open a manual lock system from the outside, insert
the key into a lock and turn it counterclockwise to
unlock the tailgate and liftglass or the liftgate.
To open a power lock system from the outside, insert
the key into a lock and turn it counterclockwise. All
the doors will then unlock.
If your vehicle is equipped with the keyless entry
system, your vehicle does not have a lock on the
tailgate. It is equipped with a push button to release the
liftglass.
You may also use the keyless entry transmitter, or the
power door locks, if equipped.
When the doors are
unlocked, press the button
to open the glass.
