WARNING

Liftgate

Open Liftgate:
An open liftgate in a moving vehicle 
will cause exhaust gas to be drawn 
into the cabin. This gas contains CO 
(carbon monoxide), which is 
colorless, odorless, and highly 
poisonous, and it can cause loss of 
consciousness and death. Moreover, 
an open liftgate could cause 
occupants to fall out in an accident. 
Do not drive with the liftgate open.
