Unlocking the liftgate during a battery failure
In the event of a vehicle power failure affecting the liftgate latch, the
liftgate can be unlocked manually.
1. Locate the liftgate trim access
panel in the center of the liftgate.
2. Using your key, a small
screwdriver or knife, pry off the
access panel.
3. Using your key, a small
screwdriver or knife, poke or cut a
hole in the liftgate door foam as
large as the access window and
move the lock/unlock lever
accordingly:
•
For vehicles without power
liftgate, pull the lock/unlock lever
to the right (drivers side).
•
For vehicles with power liftgate,
pull the lock/unlock lever toward
you (toward the front of the
vehicle).
Once the lock/unlock lever has been
moved, you can open the liftgate
from the outside liftgate handle.
