{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the trunk lid open
or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
·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. See ªClimate Control
Systemº in the Index.
·If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

Trunk Lid Tie Down
{CAUTION:
Driving with the trunk lid open can allow
dangerous CO (carbon monoxide) gas to come
into your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO. It
can cause unconsciousness and even death. If
you ever need to drive with your trunk lid
open, then:
·Make sure all windows, the rear seat
pass-through and sunroof are closed.
·Turn the fan on your heating and cooling
system to its highest speed, with the
setting on AUTO and temperature between
65ÉF (18ÉC) and 85ÉF (29ÉC). This forces
fresh outside air into your vehicle.
·Open all air ducts on the instrument panel.
Don't use the trunk lid tie down if you are
towing a trailer because of the danger of CO.Your vehicle may be equipped with a trunk-lid tie down.
This feature is used to secure the trunk lid if it will
not close completely, such as when carrying large
packages in the trunk. Use the following steps to secure
the trunk lid:
1. Attach the clip end of the tie down to the D ring on
the trunk lid (A).
2. Attach the hook end of the tie down to the striker
located at the center of the trunk sill (B).
3. Tighten the tie down by pulling the free end of the
cord until secure.
4. To remove the tie down, press the clip end release
and loosen the cord.
