Make certain that you close the liftgate before driving your vehicle. Possible damage may occur to the liftgate gas lifters and attached hardware if the liftgate is not closed prior to driving.

To open the liftgate, press the handle and pull it up.

Once the liftgate is opened and then closed, the liftgate locks automatically. (All doors must be locked.)
