Saab 2006 9-7X - Manual (Page 87)

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 2-30.

To unlock the liftgate, use the power door lock switch
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. See Remote

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