Buick Encore: Doors
Liftgate
Warning
Exhaust gases can enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
liftgate, hatch/trunk open, or with
any objects that pass through the
seal between the body and the
hatch/trunk or liftgate. Engine
exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO) which cannot be
seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle must be driven with
the liftgate or hatch/trunk open:
- Close all of the windows.
- Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.
- Adjust the climate control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air and set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See
"Climate Control Systems"
in the Index.
- If the vehicle is equipped
with a power liftgate, disable
the power liftgate function.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see Engine
