Once unlocked, the liftgate can be opened or closed. To

with one fluid motion.
The liftgate will not manually open unless the gear
selector is in the PARK position, or the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).

If a power malfunction to the liftgate latch should
occur, an emergency liftgate latch release can be used
to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch
release can be accessed through a snap-in cover lo-
cated on the liftgate trim panel.

ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep
the liftgate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
