Liftgate
To unlock the liftgate from the outside, turn the key in
the cylinder clockwise or use the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
To lock the liftgate using the key,
turn the key counterclockwise.
Open the liftgate using the handle located above the
license plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise
by itself. Lamps
in the rear of the vehicle will come
on, illuminating the rear cargo area. See
lnterior Lamps
on page 3-17.
Notice: Be sure there are no overhead
obstructions, such as a garage door, before you
open the liftgate. You could slam the liftgate
into something and break the
glass.
It can be dangerous to drive w ~~~ the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t 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 “Comfort Controls”
in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all
the way.
See “Engine Exhaust”
in the Index.

Compact Disc Messages
CHECK CD: If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
You’re driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should play.
The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can’t be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays
an error message, write
it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have an optional Digital Video Disc
(DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment system
works with the vehicle’s audio system and includes a
DVD player, a video display screen, headphones and a
remote control. The entertainment system also integrates
the rear climate control and rear seat audio functions.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in
the second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do
so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions your
entertainment system will shut down until the
temperature is within the operating range. This
protection feature will keep your video components
from being damaged while the temperature is below
-4°F (-20°C) or above 140°F (60°C). To resume
operation, shut
off the entertainment system, pull down
until the temperature is within the operating range. LL- ‘A-- --A SL-, Leer ---I SL- .,-L:#.l- 11 IC viucu ~~IGCI I a1 IU LI IGI I I IcaL VI ~UVI LI IC VGI II~IG
