Page: 31 / 738

WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
•
The power liftgate buttons will not oper-
ate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 MPH (0 km/h).
•
The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below −22°F (−30°C) or tem-
peratures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from
the liftgate before pushing any of the
power liftgate switches.
•
If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets suffi-
cient resistance.
•
There are also pinch sensors attached to
the side of the liftgate. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause
the liftgate to return to the open position.
•
The power liftgate must be in the full open
position for rear liftgate close button on
the left rear trim, near the liftgate opening,
to operate. If the liftgate is not fully open,
push the Liftgate button on the Key Fob to
fully open the liftgate, and then push it
again to close.
•
If the liftgate handle switch is pushed
while the power liftgate is closing, the
liftgate will reverse to the full open
position.
•
If the liftgate handle switch is pushed
while the power liftgate is opening, the
liftgate motor will disengage to allow
manual operation.
•
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the
liftgate
must be opened or closed
manually.
•
If your liftgate is power closing and you
put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will
continue to power close. However, ve-
hicle movement may result in a detection
of an obstruction.
WARNING!
•
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the vehicle.
•
If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
