Manual Operation of Power Liftgate
To change the liftgate to
manual operation, press
the switch on the
center console to the
OFF position.
With the power liftgate disabled and all of the
doors unlocked, the liftgate can be manually
opened and closed.
To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the
handle on the outside of the liftgate, and lift
the gate open. To close the liftgate, use the pull
cup to lower the liftgate and close. The liftgate
latch will power close. Always close the liftgate
before driving.
If the RKE button or the power close button on the
liftgate is pressed while power operation is
disabled, the lights will flash three times, but the
liftgate will not move.
It is not recommended that you drive with the
liftgate open, however, if you must drive with the
liftgate open, the liftgate should be set to
manual operation by pressing the OFF switch on
the center console.
The liftgate has an electric latch. If the battery is
disconnected or has low voltage, the liftgate
will not open. The liftgate will resume operation
when the battery is reconnected and charged.
If the battery is properly connected with adequate
voltage, the switch is not disabled, and the
liftgate still will not function, your vehicle should be
taken to a dealer/retailer for service.
