WARNING
You or others could be injured if
caught in the path of the power
liftgate. Make sure there is no one
in the way of the liftgate as it is
opening and closing.
Notice: If you open the liftgate
without checking for overhead
obstructions such as a garage
door, you could damage the
liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure the
area above and behind the liftgate
is clear before opening it.
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission must be in P (Park)
and a manual transmission must be
in Neutral to operate the power
liftgate. The taillamps flash when
the power liftgate moves.
Turn the selector switch to choose
one of three modes:
MAX: The liftgate power opens to
the full open height.
3/4: The liftgate power opens to a
reduced open height that can be set
in a range of approximately ¾ open
to full open. Use this setting to
prevent the liftgate from opening
