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 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.
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:

Although the liftgate has no inside release

mechanism, the liftgate trim panel includes an opening

with a snap-in cap that provides access to release the

latch in the event of an electrical system malfunction.
