LIFTGATE
The liftgate is locked and un-
locked by the master door lock
switch on the driver’s door panel.
To open the liftgate, press the
button under the handle and
lift. There is a grab handle on
the inside of the hatch to help
pull the hatch down so it can
be closed. Make sure the lift-
gate is closed before starting
the vehicle.
NOTE:
The liftgate cannot be opened if the vehicle battery
is dead.
AVOID driving with the liftgate open.
REASON: Passengers and cargo are at risk of falling out
of the vehicle and driving with the liftgate open can cause
damage to the liftgate and its components. In addition,
engine exhaust, which contains carbon monoxide, can enter
the vehicle. Carbon monoxide can cause drowsiness and
even death. See Exhaust Fumes on page 100 for more
information on exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide.
If you must drive with the liftgate open, make sure to close the
windows and turn the fan on your climate controls to the high-
est speed and select the setting that will force outside air into
the vehicle. See the Climate Control System on the next page
for information on setting your controls.

moving.

vehicle control, accident and serious bodily injury or death.
1. Pull and hold the
steering wheel release
control toward you.
2. Move the steering
wheel up and down
until you find the
desired location.
3. Release the steering
wheel release control.
This will lock the steer-
ing wheel in position.
