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.

Tailgate/Spare Tire Carrier
Opening the Spare Tire Carrier
To open the spare tire carrier, do the following:
1. Press the button on the pin (B), which is
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.

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

Area Displayed On Screen
The image is provided by the camera located on
the rear bumper.The camera uses a special lens. The distance of
the image that appears on the screen differs
from the actual distance. The area displayed by
the camera is limited. The camera does not display
objects which are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper. The spare tire and
carrier extends rearward of the rear bumper.
The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
Notice:The spare tire extends farther away
from rear of the vehicle than the trailer
hitch shown on rear vision camera display.
Your spare tire could hit an object even though
there appears to be enough distance on the
display between the trailer hitch and objects
behind you causing vehicle or property
damage. Do not use this system to judge the
distance between the spare tire and objects
behind you.
The following illustration shows the eld of view
that the camera provides.

Before You Go Off-Roading
There are some things to do before you go out.
For example, be sure to have all necessary
maintenance and service work done. Check to
make sure all underbody shields are properly
attached. Remove any removable side steps.
SeeAssist Steps on page 338. Make sure any
equipment you may need — rst aid kit, cell phone,
ashlight, etc. — is securely stored in the vehicle.
Be sure you read all the information about your
four-wheel-drive vehicle in this manual. Is there
enough fuel? Is the spare tire fully inated? Are the
uid levels up where they should be? What are the
local laws that apply to off-roading where you will be
driving? If you do not know, you should check with
law enforcement people in the area. Will you be on
someone’s private land? If so, be sure to get the
necessary permission.
Loading Your Vehicle for Off-Road
Driving
{CAUTION:
Cargo on the load oor piled higher
than the seatbacks can be thrown
forward during a sudden stop. You or
your passengers could be injured.
Keep cargo below the top of the
seatbacks.
Unsecured cargo on the load oor can
be tossed about when driving over
rough terrain. You or your passengers
can be struck by ying objects.
Secure the cargo properly.
Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity, making it
more likely to roll over. You can be
seriously or fatally injured if the
vehicle rolls over. Put heavy loads
inside the cargo area, not on the roof.
Keep cargo in the cargo area as far
forward and low as possible.

First Aid Kit and Tool Kit
The rst aid and tool kit is located in the storage bin
on top of the spare tire on SUV models. It is held in
place with a hook and loop fastener strap.
On SUT models, the kit is in the rear cargo
compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The kit includes a rst aid kit (A), a ashlight (C),
a tire pressure gage (B), and a multi-purpose
tool set (D).
The tire pressure gage has a reset button in the
gage stem. After taking a pressure reading,
press the button to reset the gage to zero.
Front Mounted Receiver
Your vehicle is equipped with a front mounted
receiver.
You can use the receiver with a power winch
platform (described later in this section) or with
other accessories.

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).
