THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 29 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. TRUNK LOCK AND RELEASE - CONVERTIBLE MODELS ONLY You can unlatch the trunk lid by pressing the TRUNK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter for at least one second. The park lights and turn signal lights will flash three times to acknowledge the signal and the trunk lid will pop open. You can also unlatch the trunk lid with the key. The key cylinder is located on the trunk lid. The word "DECK" will flash in the odometer when the trunk lid is open. With the key in the ignition switch, this display will turn off approximately 40 seconds after switching off the ignition, or if the Power Accessory Delay feature is active, it will turn off approximately 40 seconds after the delay feature times out. 2
