control button under the license
plate lamp shield.
• To open the liftgate, unlock the

under the license plate lamp
shield.
To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks.

area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate glass is raised and the liftgate is
also opened, both liftgate and glass could be damaged against a low
ceiling.
Do not leave the liftgate or liftgate glass open while driving. Doing so
could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as
allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.
WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are
closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the
vehicle. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can
injure your lungs and cause drowsiness and even death. This
will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you
must drive with the liftgate door or window open, keep the
vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.

JUMP STARTING THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle has two separate jump starting procedures; the following
procedure is for the cargo area high voltage battery only. Refer to the
Jump starting your vehicle (Low voltage [underhood] battery only)
section in this chapter for information on jump starting the low voltage
(underhood) battery.WARNING: The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage.
WARNING: The high voltage battery contains potassium
hydroxide (a strong alkaline electrolyte) which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. This vehicle does not
have push-start capability.
If you attempt to start your vehicle and the engine cranks but does not
start, the high voltage battery may need to be jump started.
The Service Soon (yellow wrench)
light in the instrument cluster may
also be illuminated and the message
center may display a message.
To jump start the high voltage
battery, turn the ignition to OFF,
open the access panel on the end of
the driver side instrument panel and
press the jump start button
momentarily. After pressing the
button, you should wait eight
minutes before attempting to start
the engine, otherwise the high
voltage battery may not receive
sufficient charge to start the engine.
The high voltage battery will use voltage from the low voltage
(underhood) battery to charge itself.
