Warning, keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.
Note:
The liftgate movement direction can be reversed with a second
press of the instrument panel, or the rear cargo area control button, or a
second double press of the integrated keyhead transmitter button.
To power open the liftgate with
outside liftgate control button:
1. To open, unlock the liftgate with
the integrated keyhead transmitter
or power door unlock control.
2. Push the control button located
above the liftgate outside handle to
unlatch and power open the liftgate.
Note:
For the best performance
allow the power system to open the
liftgate after pushing the control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate
may activate the system’s obstacle detection feature and stop the power
system.
To manually operate the liftgate:
1. Disable the liftgate power function. Refer to the
Message Center
in
this chapter.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Refer to
the
Manual liftgate
in this chapter.
Note:
In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on
extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system will reverse to full open when
it detects an obstacle. A chime will sound 3 times when an obstacle is
detected as the liftgate begins to reopen. Once the obstacle is removed,
the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system will stop and a chime will
sound 3 times when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is
removed, the liftgate can again be operated normally.
