Caution
Manually forcing the tailgate to
open or close during a power cycle
can damage the vehicle. Allow the
power cycle to complete.
The power tailgate may be temporarily
disabled in extremely low
temperatures, or after repeated power
cycling over a short period of time.
If this occurs, the tailgate can still be
operated manually. Select OFF on the
tailgate switch.
If the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park)
while the power function is in
progress, the tailgate will continue to
completion. If the vehicle is
accelerated before the tailgate has
completed moving, the tailgate may
stop or reverse direction. Check for
Driver Information Centre (DIC)
messages and make sure the tailgate
is closed and latched before driving.
Falling Tailgate Detection
If the power tailgate automatically
closes after a power opening cycle, it
indicates that the system is reacting
to excess weight on the tailgate or a
possible support strut failure. Remove
any excess weight. If the tailgate
continues to automatically close after
opening, see your dealer for service
before using the power tailgate.
Interfering with the power tailgate
motion or manually closing the
tailgate too quickly after power
opening may resemble a support strut
failure. This could also activate the
falling tailgate detection feature. Allow
the tailgate to complete its operation
and wait a few seconds before
manually closing the tailgate.
