• If your liftgate is power closing and you put the vehicle

in gear, the liftgate will continue to power close. How-
ever, vehicle movement may result in a detection of an
obstruction.

WARNING!

Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous

exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your passen-
gers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the
liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle.

If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,

make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Do not use the recirculation mode.

Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
