Raising the Midgate
®
To return the Midgate
®
to its normal position,
raise the Midgate
®
up with a firm swinging motion
until it latches into place securely. This will help
to ensure that the Midgate
®
closes with enough
force to engage the latches.
If the rear glass is removed and you would like to
put it back, do so using the instructions given
previously.
Tailgate
Use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
or power door lock switch to lock and unlock
the tailgate.
Open the tailgate by lifting up on its handle while
pulling the tailgate toward you.
To shut the tailgate, push it firmly upward until it
latches. Push and pull on the tailgate to be sure it
is latched securely.
Tailgate Removal
The tailgate is not to be removed. This may cause
damage to electrical connector resulting in loss
of lock/unlock and rear vision camera function.
Power Running Boards
Your vehicle may have power running boards.
These make getting into and out of the vehicle
easier.
The power running boards activate when either
door on the driver’s or passenger’s side is opened
or closed. They automatically extend from beneath
the vehicle on the side in which the door has been
opened. Once the door is closed, the running
boards will automatically move back under the
vehicle. The vehicle must not be moving for the
running boards to extend or retract.
The switch used to
disable the power
running boards is
located on the center
console below the
climate control system.
The running boards cannot be disabled in the
extended position.
