Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent exhaust
fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent

passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate door open, keep the vents open so outside air comes into the
vehicle.

POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) (IF EQUIPPED)

With this option, you can power open or close the liftgate with the
provided controls.

overhead console button

key fob button

outside release handle

liftgate trim-mounted switch (closing)

Opening and Closing the PLG:

The PLG controls will operate without having the key in the ignition. The
transaxle must be in PARK to power operate the PLG, when the key is in
the ignition and turned to the ON position. When the liftgate is being
power closed, a chime will sound three times before the liftgate begins to
power close. A single chime indicates a problem with the close request.

WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate controls to open or close the

liftgate.

Keep the keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow children
to play on or near an open or moving power liftgate.

Exercise care, when power opening or closing the PLG in a garage or
other enclosed area with a low ceiling or close to a wall/garage door. The
PLG could be damaged from the contact.

Do not attempt to manually force the PLG to travel faster than the
power system will permit.

When power operating the PLG at temperatures below 32° F (0° C), the
PLG may stop about 5 inches from the full open position. The PLG can
be fully opened by pushing it upward to the maximum open position.
