Power Liftgate
Power Liftgate Operation
Your vehicle has a power liftgate. The vehicle must be
in PARK (P) to power open or close the liftgate.
The liftgate must be completely closed to power open or
the liftgate completely open to power close.
The taillamps will flash and a chime will sound at the
beginning of each power operation cycle.
{CAUTION:
You or others could be injured if caught in the
path of the power liftgate. Make sure there is no
one in the way of the liftgate as it is closing.
Notice: If you open the liftgate without checking for
overhead obstructions such as a garage door,
you could break the liftgate glass. Always check to
make sure the area above the liftgate is clear
before opening.
To open and close the liftgate, press and hold the power
liftgate button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (RKE) until the liftgate starts moving. Press
the RKE button a second time during liftgate operations
to reverse that operation. See Remote Keyless Entry
System Operation on page 2-5 for more information.
The liftgate can also be power closed by pressing the
power liftgate button next to the liftgate latch. Press the
button a second time during liftgate operation to
reverse that operation. The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under extreme low temperatures or
low battery condition. If this occurs, the liftgate can
still be operated manually.
If you shift the transmission out of PARK (P) while the
power function is in progress, the liftgate power function
will continue to completion. If you shift the transmission
out of PARK (P) and accelerate before the power
liftgate latches closed, the liftgate may reverse to the
open position. Cargo could fall out of the vehicle. Always
make sure the power liftgate is closed and latched
before you drive away.
If you power open the liftgate and the liftgate support
struts have lost pressure, the lights will flash and a
chime will sound. The liftgate will hold open temporarily,
then slowly close. See your dealer for service before
using the liftgate.
