Make certain that you close the liftgate door before driving your
vehicle. Possible damage may occur to the liftgate door lift
cylinders and attaching hardware if the liftgate door is not
closed prior to driving.
*
[CF40000(ALL)01/96]
RWARNING
Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are
closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into
the vehicle. This will also prevent 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.
*
[CF40100(ALL)01/96]
Liftgate closing procedure
*
[CF40200(ALL)01/96]1.
To make the liftgate swing downward, reach up and pull the
lower edge of the liftgate (or the loop handle on the inner
trim panel of vehicles with this option) and pull downward.
*
[CF40300(ALL)01/96]2.
When you have pulled down the liftgate enough so that you
can reach the license plate light shield, push the shield down
and forward to close the latch and liftgate. At this point, the
latch is not locked.
[CF40400(ALL)09/96]3.
You can lock the liftgate latch by pushing down the
night-lock button (located on the inside of the liftgate at the
bottom of the window) before you pull down and close the
liftgate. You can also lock the liftgate latch by inserting your
vehicle's door key and turning it counterclockwise after you
have closed the liftgate, by pressing LOCK on your
remote (if equipped), or by using the power door locks on
the front doors or the power lock switch in the cargo area.
*
[CF40500(ALL)01/96]
The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers. You
can open and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. It
cannot be opened from inside the cargo area.

Battery Saver
[CF44900(ALL)01/96]
When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the vehicle will turn

exterior lamps are not affected.) The purpose is to minimize
extended battery drain if the lights have inadvertently been left
on or if a door or the glove box is not completely closed.
However, the timer will be immediately reset to another 45
minutes if any of the following occurs:

n
any door is open or closed

unlock the vehicle doors without using a key. The remote entry
system also has a personal alarm feature. The buttons that
control the system are located on the hand held transmitter that
comes with your vehicle.
*
[CF45700(ALL)05/96]

came with two remotes. Additional remotes can be ordered
from your dealer.
