Liftgate (SUV)
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with
the liftgate open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can not see or smell CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the liftgate
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle.
SeeDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 197.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the
way. SeeEngine Exhaust on page 137.To lock and unlock the liftgate, use any of the
power door lock switches or the remote keyless
entry (RKE) transmitter.
To open the liftgate, do the following:
1. Move the spare tire carrier out of the way.
See “Opening the Spare Tire Carrier” under
Tailgate/Spare Tire Carrier on page 108.
2. Pull the handle located in the center of
the door.
To close the liftgate, do the following:
1. Pull the liftgate down until it latches.
2. Move the spare tire carrier back into place.
See “Closing the Spare Tire Carrier” under
Tailgate/Spare Tire Carrier on page 108.

Midgate®(SUT)
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
cargo area covered and the tailgate and
the Midgate
®open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You can not see or smell CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the cargo
covers on and the tailgate and Midgate
®
CAUTION: (Continued)

open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the Midgate
®:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
on the setting that brings in outside
air. This will force outside air into your
vehicle. SeeDual Automatic Climate
Control System on page 197.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the
way. SeeEngine Exhaust on page 137.
The Midgate

attached to the cable (A), to remove the
pin from the latch nut (C).2. Lift up on the latch on the left side of the
vehicle to release the spare tire carrier
from the vehicle. The handle will stay in the
raised position until the spare tire carrier
is closed and latched properly.
108

{CAUTION:
If you drive with the spare tire carrier
unlatched, you could injure pedestrians or
damage the vehicle. Make sure the carrier
is secure before driving.
3. Swing the spare tire carrier to the side.

Closing the Spare Tire Carrier
To close the spare tire carrier, do the following:
1. Swing the tailgate up until it latches rmly
into place.
{CAUTION:
The spare tire carrier must be secured so
that it does not strike and injure someone.
Always close it into the latch forcefully.
Make sure that the release handle is fully
closed (down) and that the cable is
attached.
2. Move the spare tire carrier back into place
until it latches, by closing it into the latch
forcefully. The spare tire carrier is latched
properly when the latch handle has lowered
to the closed position.3. Reinstall the cable (A) by pushing in the
button on the pin (B) and inserting the pin
into the latch bolt nut (C).
4. Pull on the spare tire carrier to make sure it is
rmly latched.

Cargo Tie Downs (SUT)
There are four oval shaped openings (A) in the
cargo bed that allow access to four tie downs. You
can use these tie downs to secure cargo.
All-Weather Cargo Area
Your vehicle has features to help it resist the
elements and protect cargo inside the cargo area.
Even when the water management system is
working properly and the cover system is on, there
may be some instances (heavy rains, automated
car washes, etc.) when water may be present
in the drain holes. See “Cargo Area Floor Drains”
later in this section for more information.
Removal and Cleaning
To ensure that the water management system
performs properly, be sure that the midgate,
tailgate and cover system are fully closed and that
each element of the water management system
is clean and not blocked with debris. Follow
the instruction given next in this section for the
proper procedures on cleaning each item of
the water management system.
165

The cargo mat has cutouts for the drains. You can
ush the drains through the cutouts, but if the
cargo area is extremely dirty you can lift up the
edges of the cargo oor mat or take the whole mat
out and ush the drains with water. The drain
grates can be removed to clear any debris that has
accumulated in the drain.
Tonneau Cover (SUT)
{CAUTION:
If you remove the tonneau cover, do not
store it in the vehicle without securing it
to the vehicle. An improperly stored
tonneau cover could be thrown about the
vehicle during a collision or sudden
maneuver. You or others could be injured.
When you put the cover back on, always
be sure that it is securely reattached.
Your vehicle may have a hard tonneau cover, you
can use it to cover items in the cargo area of
your vehicle.Your tonneau cover will have two lock cylinders
on it. One lock cylinder is to secure the cover
closed and the other lock cylinder will allow you to
secure the tailgate closed.
167

Your spare tire carrier is behind the tailgate.
If your hitch extension is too short, the spare tire
may interfere with trailer coupling or trailer
tongue jack operation on some types of trailers.
After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the
trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if
the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be
able to get them right simply by moving some
items around in the trailer.
Trailering may also be limited by the vehicle’s ability
to carry tongue weight. Tongue weight cannot
cause the vehicle to exceed the GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating) or the RGAWR (Rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating). The effect of additional weight
may reduce your trailering capacity more than the
total of the additional weight.
Consider the following example:
A vehicle model base weight is 5,500 lbs
(2 495 kg); 2,800 lbs (1 270 kg) at the front
axle and 2,700 lbs (1 225 kg) at the rear axle.It has a GVWR of 7,200 lbs (3 266 kg), a RGAWR
of 4,000 lbs (1 814 kg) and a GCWR (Gross
Combination Weight Rating) of 14,000 lbs
(6 350 kg). The trailer rating should be:
You can expect tongue weight to be at least
10 percent of trailer weight (850 lbs (386 kg)) and
because the weight is applied well behind the rear
axle, the effect on the rear axle will be greater than
just the weight itself, as much as 1.5 times as much.
The weight at the rear axle could be 850 lbs
(386 kg) X 1.5 = 1,275 lbs (578 kg). Since the rear
axle already weighs 2,700 lbs (1 225 kg), adding
1,275 lbs (578 kg) brings the total to 3,975 lbs
(1 803 kg). This is very close to, but within the limit
for RGAWR as well. The vehicle is set to trailer up
to 8,500 lbs (3 856 kg).
