POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) (IF EQUIPPED)
You can power open or close the liftgate with the following controls.
•
instrument panel control button
•
integrated keyhead transmitter button
•
outside liftgate control button
•
control button in the rear cargo area
Opening and Closing the power liftgate:
WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow children to play
near an open or moving power liftgate.
The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P (Park).
When the liftgate is being power closed, a chime will sound three times
as the liftgate begins to power close. A single chime indicates a problem
with the close request, caused by:
•
the ignition is in Run and the transmission is not in Park
•
or the Battery Voltage is below the minimum operating voltage
•
or the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 kph)
A fast continuous chime during power closing indicates there is an
excessive load on the liftgate (snow, bike rack, etc.) or a possible strut
malfunction. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster
chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.
Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the
power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection
feature.
Exercise care, when power opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area with a low ceiling or close to a wall/garage door. The
liftgate could be damaged from the contact. Disable the power feature
and operate the liftgate manually if necessary.
When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32° F (0° C),
the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the
maximum open position.
