Midgate
{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 tailgate
and midgate 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 with the
setting on OUTSIDE AIR. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. See
Dual
Climate Control System on page 3-20.
·If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See
Engine Exhaust on page 2-39.
Midgate
Your vehicle is equipped with a midgate and power
midgate glass. The midgate allows you to extend the
length of your vehicle's cargo area.
Lowering the Midgate
The midgate can be lowered to allow the cargo area of
your vehicle to extend into the cab. The midgate
cannot be lowered when the glass is up.
To lower the midgate, do the following:
1. Fold and tumble the rear seats. The front seats
might have to be moved forward slightly to allow
the rear seats to fold and tumble. See
Rear
Seat Operation on page 1-7for more information.
2.
C:Press this overhead console button to lower
the midgate glass with the key in the ignition.
The midgate can be lowered without the key in the
ignition if the midgate glass is already down.
3. Clip the second row seat belts into the retainers.
They are mounted on the pillars below where the
seat belt passes through the trim panel. This
prevents the seat belt from being tangled in the
midgate when opening or closing the midgate.

Using heavier suspension components to get added
durability might not change your vehicle's weight ratings.
Ask your dealer to help you load your vehicle the
right way.
Notice:Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not overload your vehicle.
If you put things inside your vehicle-like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else-they will go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or
if there's a crash, they'll keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
·Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
·Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
·Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
·When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
·Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
