Care should be exercised in starting the engine before the liftgate is fully
closed (latched). If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close
cycle and the liftgate is 6-10 inches (15–24 cm) from being latched, the
liftgate may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the gate is
closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure,
like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could
be damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.
When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32° F (0° C),
the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pressing it upward to the
maximum open position.
To open the liftgate from the
instrument panel:
Press the button once to open the
liftgate, press it again to close.
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. Unlock the liftgate with the
remote entry transmitter or power
door unlock control.
2. Press 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.
