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 page 2-40.

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.
