Driver Controls • To open the liftgate window, press the control on the remote entry transmitter or, with the liftgate unlocked, push the control button on the right side under the license plate lamp shield. • To open the liftgate, unlock the liftgate (with the power door locks, the remote entry or the keyless entry pad) and pull the middle lever under the license plate lamp shield. To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks. The liftgate door and window should be closed before driving. If not, possible damage may occur to your vehicle. WARNING: Always close liftgate window before opening liftgate. Liftgate glass and liftgate should never be open at the same time. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or damage to your vehicle. WARNING: Make sure the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also reduce the risk of passengers and cargo falling out. 151
