Chevrolet Sonic Owner's Manual: Liftgate (Hatchback)
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 Exhaust.
To lock or unlock the liftgate from the inside, press
or
on the central locking switch or on
the driver door.
The vehicle must be in P (Park) for automatic transmissions. For manual transmissions the parking brake must be engaged.
To open the liftgate from the outside, press
on the RKE transmitter to unlock all
doors, then use the touch pad.
See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation.
When closing the liftgate, close from the center to ensure that it fully latches.
