Liftgate/Liftglass
{ CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because 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 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 climate control 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 2-38.
Liftgate Release
To unlock the liftgate, use the power door lock switch
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. See Remote

unlocked.
Press the button on the liftglass to open it. To open the
entire liftgate, lift the handle located in the center of
