Midgate
®
(SUT)
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo area
covered and the tailgate and the Midgate
®
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 cargo covers on and
the tailgate and Midgate
®
open or if electrical
wiring or other cable connections must pass
through the seal between the body and the
Midgate
®
:
• Make sure all windows are shut.
• Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed on the setting
that brings in outside air. This will force
outside air into your vehicle. See Dual
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 3-22.
• If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-43.
The Midgate

allows you to extend the length of your
vehicle’s cargo area into the cab.
