Liftgate (Hatchback)
{WARNING:
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it is driven
with the liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with any
objects that pass through the seal between the
body and the trunk/hatch or liftgate. Engine
exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle must be driven with the liftgate,
or trunk/hatch open:
.Close all of the windows.
.Fully open the air outlets on or under the
instrument panel.
.Adjust the Climate Control system to a setting
that brings in only outside air and set the fan
speed to the highest setting. See Climate
Control System in the Index.
.If the vehicle is equipped with a power liftgate,
disable the power liftgate function.
For more information about carbon monoxide, see
Engine Exhaust on page 3‑32. To unlock the liftgate on a hatchback from outside of the
vehicle, insert the key in the lock cylinder and turn it
counterclockwise or use the RKE transmitter,
if equipped.
The handle is located above the right side of the license
plate. Pull the handle toward you and raise the liftgate.
When closing the liftgate, close from the center to
ensure it fully latches.
To lock the liftgate, insert the key into the lock cylinder
and turn it clockwise or use the RKE transmitter,
if equipped.

Clock
There is a digital clock located in the center of the
instrument panel, above the center air outlets. When the
ignition is turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN,
the time is displayed in the digital clock. There are
three buttons for adjusting the digital clock:
H (Hour):Press once to go forward one hour. To go
forward more than one hour, press and hold the button
until the correct hour is reached.
M (Minute): Press once to go forward one minute. To go
forward more than one minute, press and hold the
button until the correct minute is reached.
S (Set): Press to reset the time to the nearest hour.
For example, if the set button is pressed while the time
is between 8:00 and 8:29, the display is set to 8:00.
If this button is pressed while the time is between
8:30 and 8:59, the display is set to 9:00.
After disconnecting the battery or replacing the fuse,
reset the clock.
