Features of your vehicle Liftgate
Liftgate
Exhaust fumes
If you drive with the liftgate open, you
will draw dangerous exhaust fumes into
your vehicle which can cause serious
injury or death to vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the air vents and all windows open
so that additional outside air comes into
the vehicle.

cargo area where no restraints are avail

able. To avoid injury in the event of an
accident or sudden stops, occupants
should always be properly restrained.
