Obstacle Detection
When closing:
The system will reverse to full open when it detects an
obstacle. A chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.
Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate.
Note:
Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause your
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the
power liftgate close completely before you enter your vehicle. Before
driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar
message or warning indicator. Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while driving.
When opening:
The system stops when it detects an obstacle and a
tone will sound three times. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.
Resetting the Power Liftgate
The liftgate may not operate properly and you may need to reset it if any
of the following conditions occur:
•
A low voltage or dead battery
•
Disconnected battery
•
The liftgate is manually closed and left ajar (unlatched)
To reset the power liftgate:
1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
3. Power open the liftgate by using the remote control or the instrument
panel button.
Manual Operation
WARNING:
Make sure to close and latch the liftgate to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into your vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, keep the vents or windows open so outside air comes into
your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
Note:
Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
