any buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate before
opening the liftgate.
• If the liftgate is left open for an extended period of time,

make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed. Do
not use the recirculation mode. Gas props support the liftgate in the open position. How-

be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to

selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children, and do not leave the
