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
Climate Control System
. • If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all
the way. See
Engine Exhaust
.
Use your remote keyless entry transmitter or power door lock switches to unlock the liftgate.
To open the liftgate, lift the handle located in the center of the liftgate.
