Controls and features damage may occur to the liftgate door lift cylinders and attaching hardware. Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are 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 or window open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle. CARGO COVER (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with a cargo area shade that covers the luggage compartment of your vehicle. To install the shade: 1. Fasten the cover into the mounting brackets (make sure the cover is right side up). 2. Pull the end of the shade toward you and hook the sides into the notches in the rear trim panels. To prevent the possibility of injuries, the fasteners for the cargo area cover must be properly attached to the mounting clips on the rear trim panels. 44
