Liftgate ajar signal
If the liftgate or liftgate glass are not fully latched, you will receive a
“LIFTGATE or LIFTGLASS AJAR” message on the instrument panel. If
you see this message, check both the liftgate glass and liftgate door to
ensure they are fully latched.

WARNING: Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with

the liftgate open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the
vehicle.

Liftgate window

To open the liftgate window, push
the button on the left side of the
liftgate above the license plate.

MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED)
The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. You can open
and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. The liftgate cannot be
opened from the cargo area control button, only closed.
Note: In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and
released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim.

To open the liftgate, push the
control button located in the top of
the liftgate pull cup handle to
unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the
outside handle to access the cargo
area.
• Do not open the liftgate or

liftgate glass in a garage or other
enclosed area with a low ceiling.
If the liftgate glass is raised and
the liftgate is also opened, both liftgate and glass could be damaged
against a low ceiling.
