Before Starting
With the ignition device in the OFF
position, only the liftgate open symbol
will display until closure.
See “Passive Entry System” in this
section for more information on
liftgate operation with the “Passive
Entry” feature.
Power Liftgate/Hands Free
(optional)
Automatic opening and closing
movement of the liftgate is driven by
electric actuators and a motorised
latch ensuring lid locking upon closing.
Liftgate can be opened using button
on the key fob RKE transmitter
and the button on front dome console
used also for non-power version.
The
button on key fob and
button on front dome console not only
allow user to completely open the
power liftgate/Hands free, but also to
stop it at any intermediate position by
pressing the button again whenever
you wish to stop and resume the
opening process.
In addition to these commands, it is
possible open and close the power
liftgate/Hands free, or stop its
movement, by simply moving your foot
under the rear bumper, if the vehicle
is so equipped with the kick sensor
option. In this latter case, the liftgate
will be opened and closed only if the
“Passive Entry” system acknowledges
the presence of the key fob RKE
transmitter within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the
liftgate.
Power liftgate/Hands free uses the
button in between the licence plate
lights, indicated in figure, to activate
the opening once the car has been
unlocked by the key fob or by the
“Passive Entry” function.
By pressing this button when the
power liftgate/Hands free is closed,
you can open it completely, or by
pressing the button again stop the
opening process, or by pressing the
button again invert the movement and
close it completely.
When the power liftgate/Hands free
is open, to move it there are two
buttons positioned on the outer edge
of the left boot compartment lining as
indicated in figure.
When the liftgate is completely open
if you press and release the upper
button
, the power liftgate/Hands
free will be completely closed unless it
is stopped;
• if instead the power liftgate/Hands
free is in an intermediate position
