Choose the power liftgate mode by
turning the dial on the switch until
the indicator lines up with the
desired position. The vehicle must
be in P (Park).
The three modes are:
MAX:
The liftgate power opens to
the full open height.
3/4:
The liftgate power opens to a
reduced open height that can be set
by the vehicle operator. Use this
setting to prevent the liftgate from
opening into overhead obstructions
such as a garage door or roof
mounted cargo during power
operation. The liftgate can still be
fully opened manually.
OFF:
The liftgate only operates
manually in this position.
Manual operation of a liftgate that
also has power operation requires
more effort than a standard manual
liftgate.
The liftgate can be opened manually
by pressing the touch pad under the
liftgate handle, with the doors
unlocked and lifting up.
In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,
the liftgate can be power opened
and closed by:
.
Pressing and holding
V
on the
RKE transmitter until the liftgate
starts moving. See

Keyless Entry (RKE) System

.
Pressing the power liftgate
button in the center of the mode
switch on the overhead console,
with the driver door unlocked.
Press and release
8
on the
liftgate adjacent to the latch to close
the liftgate.
Pressing any button, or the touch
pad switch, while the liftgate is
moving stops it. Pressing the button
or RKE transmitter again reverses
the direction. The touch pad switch
will stop the liftgate from moving.
There is a minimum distance that
the power liftgate must already be
open for the system to hold it open.
If movement is stopped below that
minimum, the liftgate closes.
