Hatch/Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
hatch/trunk lid open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can not see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the hatch/trunk lid
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the hatch/trunk lid:
• 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. See Dual
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 177.
• If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 106.
Notice: Closing the hatch/trunk lid forcefully
or from the sides can cause damage to the
glass, the defogger or the weather stripping.
Be sure objects will fit in the hatch/trunk
area before closing the hatch/trunk lid. When
closing the hatch/trunk lid, gently pull down
from the center.
Notice: Do not store heavy or sharp objects
in the rear storage compartments located in the
hatch/trunk area. If you do, the objects could
damage the underbody.
