LIFTGATE
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked pressing the
UNLOCK or LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, the Keyless Enter-N-Go (Passive En-
try) or by activating the power door lock switch located
on either front door trim panel.
For further information on Keyless Enter-N-Go (Passive
Entry), refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”.
NOTE: The liftgate cannot be unlocked or locked with
the manual door lock plungers on the door trim panels or
the door lock cylinder on the driver’s door.
To open the unlocked liftgate, squeeze the handle and
pull the liftgate toward you. Gas props will raise and
support the liftgate in the open position.
NOTE: Because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
