Lockout Protection
If you press the power door lock switch when the key
is in the ignition and any door is open, all the doors
will lock and then the driver’s door will unlock. Be
sure to remove the key from the ignition when locking
your vehicle.
If the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to lock
the doors while the key is in the ignition, a chime
will sound three times. All doors will then lock.
Liftgate
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot 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. SeeClimate Control
System on page 3-19.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-27.
Use your remote keyless entry transmitter or power
door lock switches to unlock the liftgate.
To open the liftgate, lift the handle located in the
center of the liftgate.
