68 LIFTGATE Locks WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly. Power Liftgate WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air comes into the vehicle. WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate area before using the power liftgate control. WARNING: Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to an open or moving power liftgate. Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could result in damage to the liftgate or its power components. Make sure the liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle. If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 centimeters) from being latched, the liftgate may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the liftgate is closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open. When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (13 centimeters) from the full open position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pressing it upward to the maximum open position. 2013 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing USA (fus)
