LIFTGATE
Opening
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your pas-
sengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the
liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,
make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Do not use the recirculation mode.
To unlock the liftgate, use the key fob or activate the power
door lock switches located on the driver door handle.

To open the liftgate, squeeze the liftgate release handle and
pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
NOTE: Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when opening
the liftgate in cold weather.
