Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close cycle,
the tailgate will automatically reverse
direction and move a short distance
away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the power
tailgate operation can be used again.
If the tailgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
After removing the obstructions,
manually close the tailgate. This will
allow normal power operation
functions to resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the
tailgate is closing, and an obstacle
prevents the tailgate from completely
closing, the horn will sound as an
alert that the tailgate did not close.
Pinch sensors are on the side edges of
the tailgate. If an object is caught
between the tailgate and the vehicle
and presses against a sensor, the
tailgate will reverse direction and stop
at a partially open position. The
tailgate will remain open until it is
activated again or closed manually.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the tailgate
stops at when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and
open the liftgate.
2. Stop the tailgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any tailgate button. Manually
adjust the liftgate position if
needed.
3. Press and hold
l
on the
bottom edge of the tailgate next
to the latch on the outside of the
tailgate until the indicators flash
and a beep sounds. This
indicates the setting has been
recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set below a
minimum programmable height.
If there is no light flash or sound,
then the height adjustment may be
too low.
Manual Operation
Select OFF to manually operate the
tailgate.
Caution
Attempting to move the tailgate too
quickly and with excessive force
may result in damage to the
vehicle.
Operate the tailgate manually with a
smooth motion and moderate speed.
The system includes a feature which
limits the manual closing speed to
protect the components.
To open the tailgate, press
K
on the
power door lock switch or press
K
on
the RKE transmitter twice to unlock
