Midgate
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo
area covered and the tailgate and the midgate
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 tailgate
and midgate open or if electrical wiring or
other cable connections must pass through
the seal between the body and the midgate:
·Make sure all windows are shut.
·Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the
setting on OUTSIDE AIR. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. See
Dual
Climate Control System on page 3-20.
·If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See
Engine Exhaust on page 2-39.
Midgate
Your vehicle is equipped with a midgate and power
midgate glass. The midgate allows you to extend the
length of your vehicle's cargo area.
Lowering the Midgate
The midgate can be lowered to allow the cargo area of
your vehicle to extend into the cab. The midgate
cannot be lowered when the glass is up.
To lower the midgate, do the following:
1. Fold and tumble the rear seats. The front seats
might have to be moved forward slightly to allow
the rear seats to fold and tumble. See
Rear
Seat Operation on page 1-7for more information.
2.
C:Press this overhead console button to lower
the midgate glass with the key in the ignition.
The midgate can be lowered without the key in the
ignition if the midgate glass is already down.
3. Clip the second row seat belts into the retainers.
They are mounted on the pillars below where the
seat belt passes through the trim panel. This
prevents the seat belt from being tangled in the
midgate when opening or closing the midgate.

4. Press the midgate release button located on the
driver's side of the midgate while pulling the
release handle.
5. Lower the midgate and secure it in the down

the driver's side of the vehicle.
Raising the Midgate
To return the midgate to its normal position, release the
midgate by pulling up on the lever found on the
driver's side midgate support. Reverse the steps for
lowering the midgate listed previously. The midgate must
be fully latched on both sides before the midgate
glass can be raised.
Tailgate
Your vehicle is equipped with a tailgate which can be
swung out or opened ¯at. It can be locked and unlocked
with the driver or passenger door power lock button
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The tailgate has
power rear glass. The glass must be fully lowered to
open the tailgate to its ¯at position.
The power roof and tailgate must both be fully closed to
raise the rear glass. If the roof or tailgate are not fully
closed, the words CLOSE THE ROOF or CLOSE
THE TAILGATE will appear on the DIC when you try to
raise the rear glass.
If the tailgate drop/swing, power roof, rear wiper and
rear window defogger functions are inoperative, or SEE

Information Center, the tailgate window position needs
to be reset. To reset the window position, activate
the tailgate window up switch and continue to hold it for
two seconds after the window is fully closed. Then

All-Weather Cargo Area
Your vehicle has the ability to operate in many different
con®gurations (midgate up or down, rear glass up or
down, tailgate up or down, power roof open or closed),
allowing the cargo and passenger area to be open
to the environment. To allow the vehicle to operate in
these con®gurations, it is equipped with different
features to help it resist the elements and protect cargo
inside the cargo area. Some of the features that help
with this are the cargo area ¯oor drains and the
cargo mat. These are designed to quickly direct water
out of the cargo box.
Cargo Area Floor Drains
Your vehicle has two cargo-area ¯oor drains located
behind the midgate near the sides of the cargo
area. These drains should be cleaned periodically to
allow water to exit the cargo area.
After hauling dirt, wood chips, pebbles etc. you will need
to ¯ush the cargo area ¯oor drains with water if it
becomes clogged. But ®rst you will have to remove the
drain cover by using the following steps:
1. Lower the midgate.
2. Lift the midgate ¯ap to access the cargo area ¯oor
drain covers.3. Remove the push pin found in the top surface of
the ¯oor drain cover.
4. Lift each ¯oor drain cover straight up.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the drain covers.
