To power open the PLG with
outside release handle:
1. Ensure that the Power Door
Lockout Control in the overhead
console is ON.
2. Ensure that the PLG is unlocked,
using the remote entry transmitter
or power door unlock. Refer to
Remote Entry System
in the
Locks
and security
chapter.
3. Pull up on the liftgate handle to engage the power assist feature.
Release the handle as soon as the PLG begins to power open.
Note:
Continued force applied after unlatching may activate the obstacle
detection feature and stop the power system. For the best performance
allow the power system to open the PLG after releasing the handle.
To power close the PLG from the
liftgate trim switch:
1. Ensure the Power Door Lockout
Control is in the ON position.
2. Press and release the control on
the bottom of the liftgate trim panel
to engage the power assist feature.
If a single chime is heard, check to
be sure that the Power Door
Lockout Switch is set to ON and
that the transaxle is in Park.
To operate the PLG manually:
1. Disable the liftgate power function by placing the Power Door Lockout
Control in the OFF position.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate.
Note:
In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on
extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
