To open the liftgate with the remote entry transmitter:
Press
twice within three seconds to fully unlatch and open the
liftgate. Refer to
Remote entry system
in the
Locks and Security
chapter.
To open the liftgate with outside
liftgate control button (manual
actuation):
1. To open, unlock the liftgate with
the remote entry transmitter or
power door unlock control.
2. To open the liftgate, push the
control button located in the top of
the liftgate pull cup handle.
Note:
For the best performance
allow the power system to open the liftgate after releasing the control
button. Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation.
Note:
If weight is added to the gate (bike rack, snow, etc.) the gate may
automatically start a power close event immediately after a power open.
In this mode a unique continuous chime will sound.
To close the liftgate with the
rear cargo area control button:
Press and release the control on the
left rear quarter panel to close the
liftgate. The chime will beep once if
conditions are not correct to start
an operation (i.e., the vehicle is out
of park). In a normal close, the
chime will begin just before the gate
starts to move and continue for total
of three seconds.
Note:
The rear cargo area control button is disabled when the liftgate is
latched (fully closed).
WARNING:
Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.
