MANUAL LIFTGATE

To open the liftgate, unlock the
liftgate (with the power door locks
or the remote entry transmitter
button) and push the outside
liftgate control button.
• Do not open the liftgate in a

garage or other enclosed area
with a low ceiling. If the liftgate is
opened, the liftgate could be
damaged against a low ceiling.

• Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause

serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing
carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.

Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent

passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate door open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the
vehicle.
