2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 Owner's Manual - Page 119

Liftgate To unlock or lock the liftgate from the outside, use the remote keyless entry transmitter. For more information, see Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on page 2-5. Open the liftgate using the handle located above the license plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise by itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come on, illuminating the rear cargo area. {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you must drive with the liftgate open or if electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass through the seal between the body and the liftgate: • Make sure all other windows are shut. • Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed and select the control setting that will force outside air into your vehicle. See Climate Control System on page 3-26. • If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way. See Engine Exhaust on page 2-40. Notice: If you open the liftgate without checking for overhead obstructions such as a garage door, you could break the liftgate glass. Always check to make sure the area above the liftgate is clear before opening it. 2-21
