• To open the liftgate, unlock the
liftgate (with the power door
locks or the remote entry) and
press the middle control button
within the pull handle, located
below the license plate.
To lock the liftgate and the liftgate window, use the power door locks.
Do not open the liftgate or liftgate window in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate window is raised and the liftgate is also opened, both liftgate and window could be damaged against a low ceiling.
Do not leave the liftgate or liftgate window 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.

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.
