Liftgate Release To unlock the liftgate, you may use the power door locks or the keyless entry system described earlier. On some vehicles the liftglass will also unlock when the liftgate is unlocked. Use the pushbutton on the liftglass to open it. If the liftglass does not unlock when you unlock the liftgate, you have to use your key to unlock the liftglass. Insert the key into the pushbutton and turn it counterclockwise. With the key turned press in the pushbutton to open the liftglass. The liftgate cannot be opened if the liftglass is opened. To open the entire liftgate, lift the handle located in the center of the liftgate. Theft Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can help. Key in the Ignition If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves -- so don't do it. When you park your vehicle and open the driver's door, you'll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this. Your ignition and transmission will be locked. Also remember to lock the doors. Emergency Release for Opening Liftgate 1. Remove the trim plug to expose the access hole in the trim panel. 2. Use a screwdriver to reach through the access hole in the trim panel. 3. Pry the left release lever up to the unlocked position. Pry the right release lever up to unlatch the liftgate. 4. Reattach the trim plug. Parking at Night Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them with you. 2-14
