closed securely to prevent it from
opening while driving.

This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawninto the vehicle. For
additional information, refer to “Exhaust
gas (carbon monoxide)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this

the liftgate. There may be a pressure
loss in one or both of the liftgate
struts. It is recommended that you
have the liftgate inspected. It is recommended

one or both of the liftgate struts are
removed. Damage to the liftgate or
power liftgate mechanisms may
