THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 37 NOTE: If a power malfunction occurs, you can use the emergency liftgate latch release to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release is located behind a snap-in cover on the liftgate trim panel. WARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle. • If you are required to drive with the liftgate open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. Gas props support the liftgate in the open position. However, because the gas pressure drops with temperature, it may be necessary to assist the props when opening the liftgate in cold weather. 2 Emergency Liftgate Latch Release Location
