Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close cycle,
the liftgate will automatically reverse
direction and move a short distance
away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the power
liftgate operation can be used again.
If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
After removing the obstructions,
manually close the liftgate which will
allow normal power operation
functions to resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the
liftgate is closing, and an obstacle is
encountered that prevents the
liftgate from completely closing, the
horn will sound as an alert that the
liftgate did not close.
Pinch sensors are on the side
edges of the liftgate. If an object is
caught between the
lift
gate and the
vehicle and presses against a
sensor, the
lift
gate will reverse
direction and open fully. The liftgate
will remain open until it is activated
again or closed manually.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the liftgate
stops at when opening:
1. Select 3/4 mode and power
open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any liftgate button. Manually
adjust the liftgate position if
needed.
3. Press and hold
l
next to the
pull cup on the outside of the
liftgate until the turn signals
flash and a beep sounds. This
indicates the setting has been
recorded.
Note
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
liftgate.
Caution
Attempting to move the liftgate
too quickly and with excessive
force may result in damage to the
vehicle.
Operate the liftgate 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
lift
gate may be
operated with a kicking motion
under the left side of the rear
bumper.
The RKE transmitter must be within
1 m of the rear bumper to operate
the power
lift
gate hands-free.
The hands-free feature will not work
while the liftgate is moving. To stop
the liftgate while in motion use one
of the liftgate buttons.
