Driver Controls MANUAL LIFTGATE To open the liftgate, unlock the liftgate (with the power door locks or the remote entry transmitter button) and push the outside liftgate control button. • 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. CARGO AREA FEATURES Cargo net (if equipped) The cargo pouch net secures lightweight objects in the cargo area. Attach the net to the anchors provided. Do not put more than 50 lbs. (22 kg) in the net. The cargo net is not designed to restrain objects during a collision or heavy braking.
