Section 2 Features and Controls

Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during a
power open or close cycle, a warning chime will
sound and the liftgate will automatically reverse
direction to the full closed or open position.
After removing the obstruction, the liftgate may be
power opened or closed normally. If the liftgate
encounters multiple obstacles on the same power
cycle, the power function will deactivate, and
the liftgate will switch to manual operation. The
REAR ACCESS OPEN warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC) will indicate
that the liftgate is open. After removing the
obstructions, manually open the liftgate to the full
open position or close the liftgate to the fully
closed and latched position. The liftgate will now
resume normal power operation.
Your vehicle has pinch sensors located on the
side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the vehicle body and
presses against this sensor, the liftgate will reverse
direction and open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or closed manually.
Manual Operation of Power Liftgate
To change the liftgate
to manual operation,
toggle the switch on the
overhead console to
the “Disable” position
indicated by a circle.
With the power liftgate disabled and the door
unlocked, the power 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 or pull strap to lower the liftgate and close.
The liftgate latch will power cinch to closed
position. 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 ash three times, but
the liftgate will not move.

Power Running Boards
Your vehicle may have power running boards.
These make getting into and out of the vehicle
easier.
The power running boards activate when either
door on the driver’s or passenger’s side is opened
or closed. They automatically extend from
beneath the vehicle on the side in which the door
has been opened. Once the door is closed, the
running boards will automatically move back under
the vehicle. The vehicle must be stationary for
the running boards to extend or retract.
The switch used to
disable the power
running boards is
located on the center
console below the
climate control system.
The running boards cannot be disabled in the
extended position.

{CAUTION:
Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets
in a vehicle with the windows closed is
dangerous. They can be overcome by
the extreme heat and suffer permanent
injuries or even death from heat stroke.
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a
pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.

adjust the pedals is
located on the center
console below the
climate control system.Press the arrow at the bottom of the switch to
move the pedals closer to your body. Press
