{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
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:
• 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 Climate Control
System on page 3-26.
• If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-42.
To close the liftgate, pull down on the handle, then
firmly shut the liftgate. Do not drive with the liftgate open,
even slightly.
