To &dock the liftgate from the outside,
insert the door key and turn it
clockwise. Then
lift up the bottom of
the liftgate.
Be sure there are no overhead
obstructions before you open the
liftgate. You could slam the liftgate into
something and break the glass.
I CJ2044
Remote Lifigate Release
(WAGON) It can be dangerous to drive
L with the liftgate open. Carbon
monoxide
(CO) gas can come into
your vehicle.
You can’t see or I smell co. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate lock release to work. With a manual
open: transaxle, the parking brake must be set.
I
The automatic transaxle must be in
P (Park) or N (Neutral) for the liftgate
Make sure all other windows are
shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest
speed (that will force the outside
air into your vehicle).
If you have air vents on or under
the instrument panel, open them
all the way. Press the
yellow liftgate release button
located in the glove box to release the
liftgate.

Glove Box Lock
(RS AND 2-24 MODELS)
Use the door key to lock and unlock the
glove box.
To open, pinch the handle, Vehicle theft
is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your Chevrolet
has a number of theft-deterrent features,
we know that nothing we put on it can
make it impossible to steal. However,
there are ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition: If you walk away
from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or
professional thieves-so don’t do it.
When you park your Chevrolet and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you
to remove your
key from the ignition and take
it with
you. Always do this. Your steering
wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, taking your key out also locks
your transaxle. And remember to lock
the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted
spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your
valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where
someone will be watching your vehicle,
it’s best
to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What if you have to leave
something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your trunk or glove box. Use the
remote trunk release lockout feature,
if
so equipped. See Remote Trunk
Release earlier in this section.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
