Rear Window
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the rear
window or endgate open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can not see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body
and the rear window or endgate:
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. SeeClimate Control
System on page 3-17.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-40.

When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the
right (clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound.
Make sure you fully install the cap. The diagnostic
system can determine if the fuel cap has been left
off or improperly installed. This would allow fuel
to evaporate into the atmosphere. SeeMalfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 3-30.
Notice:If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get the wrong type, it may not t properly.
This may cause your malfunction indicator lamp to
light and may damage your fuel tank and emissions
system. SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-30.Filling a Portable Fuel Container

Never ll a portable fuel container while it is in
your vehicle. Static electricity discharge from
