Liftgate (SUV)
{ CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate 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:
• 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 Dual Automatic Climate
Control System on page 3-22.
• If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-45.

door lock switches or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
