Do not open the liftgate or liftgate window in a garage or other enclosed area with a low ceiling. If the liftgate window is raised and the liftgate is also opened, both liftgate and window could be damaged against a low ceiling.

Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent exhaust fumes WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate door and/or window are closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle.

If you must drive with the liftgate door or window open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.
