LIFTGATE

NOTE:

The key that is used to start the vehicle is also

used to lock or unlock the doors and open the liftgate.
To unlock the liftgate, insert the key into the lock and

turn it to the right (manual lock models only). The liftgate

can also be unlocked using the Remote Keyless Entry

(RKE) transmitter or by activating the power door lock

switches located on the front doors. The central locking/

unlocking feature (if equipped) can also be activated

from the liftgate key cylinder.
Once unlocked, the liftgate can be opened or closed

without using the key. To open the liftgate, squeeze the

liftgate release and pull the liftgate open with one fluid

motion.

NOTE:

• In the event of a power malfunction, or the RKE

transmitter is inoperative, insert the key into the

liftgate lock cylinder and turn to the right (manual lock

models only). Using the liftgate handle, pull the lift-

gate open with one fluid motion.
