Liftgate
{WARNING
Exhaust gases can enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
liftgate or trunk/hatch open,
or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the
body and the trunk/hatch or
liftgate. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled.
It can cause unconsciousness
and even death.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If the vehicle must be driven with
the liftgate or trunk/hatch open:
.Close all of the windows.
.Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.
.Adjust the Climate Control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air and
set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See“Climate
Control Systems” in the
Index.
.If the vehicle is equipped with
a power liftgate, disable the
power liftgate function.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see Engine
Exhaust on page 9‑24. Notice:
If you open the liftgate
without checking for overhead
obstructions such as a garage
door, you could damage the
liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure the
area above and behind the liftgate
is clear before opening it.
Manual Liftgate
For vehicles without keyless access,
unlock the vehicle before opening
the liftgate.
Press the touch pad located in the
handle of the liftgate, above the
license plate, and lift up to open.
Do not press the touch pad while
closing the liftgate. This will cause
the liftgate to be unlatched.
Always close the liftgate before
driving.

Power Liftgate
On vehicles with a power liftgate,
the switch is on the driver door. The
vehicle must be in P (Park) to use
the power feature. The taillamps
flash when the power liftgate
moves.
{WARNING
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
opening and closing.
Choose the power liftgate mode by
turning the dial on the switch until
the indicator lines up with the
desired position.
The three modes are:
MAX: The liftgate opens to the
full open height.
3/4: The liftgate opens to a reduced
height that can be set by the vehicle
operator in a range of approximately
three‐quarters open to full open.
Use this setting to prevent the
liftgate from opening into overhead
obstructions such as a garage door
or roof mounted cargo during power
operation. The liftgate can still be
manually opened all the way. OFF:
The liftgate only operates
manually in this position.
Manual operation of a liftgate that
also has power operation requires
more effort than with a standard
manual liftgate.
In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,
the liftgate can be power opened
and closed by:
.Pressing8on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
until the liftgate starts moving.
See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑3.
.Pressing8on the center of
the mode switch on the driver
door, with the driver door
unlocked.
.Pressing the touch pad switch
on the liftgate outside handle,
with all doors unlocked, to open
the liftgate.

2-16 Keys, Doors, and Windows
Press and release8on the
liftgate next to the latch to close the
liftgate.
Pressing any liftgate button, or the
touch pad switch while the liftgate is
moving, stops it. Pressing the button
or RKE switch again reverses the
direction. There is a minimum
distance that the power liftgate must
already be open for the system to
hold it open. If movement is stopped
below that minimum, the liftgate
closes. Do not force the liftgate open or
closed during a power cycle.
The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under extreme
temperatures or low battery
conditions. If this occurs, the liftgate
can still be operated manually.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) while the power function is
in progress, the liftgate power
function will continue to completion.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) and accelerate before the
power liftgate latch is 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 turn signals flash and
a chime sounds. The liftgate stays
open temporarily, then slowly
closes. See your dealer for service
before using the liftgate.
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 power liftgate
operation can be used again.
If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
After removing the obstructions, the
liftgate will resume normal power
operation.
The vehicle has pinch sensors
located on the side edges of the
liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the 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.
