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 is
encountered that prevents the tailgate
from completely closing, the horn will
sound as an alert that the tailgate did
not close.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the tailgate
stops at when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power
open the tailgate.
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
next to the pull
cup handle on the bottom 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. See
“
Manual Tailgate
”
at the
beginning of this section.
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.
Hands-Free Operation
If equipped, the tailgate may be
operated with a kicking motion under
the left-hand corner of the rear
bumper at the location of the
projected logo.
The RKE transmitter must be within
1 m (3 ft) of the rear bumper to
operate the power tailgate hands-free.
The hands-free feature will not work
while the tailgate is moving. To stop
the tailgate while in motion use one
of the tailgate switches.
