To open the liftgate with outside

the key fob or power door unlock
control.

handle to engage the power assist
feature.
3. To open the rear window, push
the button on the left side of the liftgate handle above the license plate.
Note:
Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the obstacle
detection feature and stop the power system. For the best performance
allow the power system to open the liftgate after releasing the handle.
4. To close, pull down the liftgate a few inches to activate power closing.
Closing the gate rapidly or more than a few inches may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power system.
Note:
You will need to wait 2 seconds after opening the liftgate to begin
manually closing the power liftgate.
Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full
open when it encounters a solid obstacle. Once the obstacle is removed,
the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. If the liftgate stops below the half open
position, you will need to close and fully latch the liftgate manually.
Normal operation can then be resumed.
