Controls and features LIFTGATE To unlock the liftgate, insert door key into the lock and turn clockwise. You can also unlock the latch (but not release it) with the power door lock system and remote entry key fob. To open the liftgate, squeeze the liftgate handle. • Do not open the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate is opened, the liftgate could be damaged against a low ceiling. • Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle. Make sure that the liftgate door 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 vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. 117
