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

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.
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.
Setting the Power Liftgate
3/4 Mode

any liftgate switch. Manually
adjust the liftgate position if
required.
3. Press and hold the button on the liftgate next to the latch until the
turn signals flash and a beep
sounds to indicate that the new
setting is recorded.
When power opened with the
3/4 mode selected, the liftgate stops
at the new set position. If you do not receive the audible and
visual feedback when setting the
intermediate stop position, you are
attempting to set the height below
the 3/4 open height minimum
(approximately 1.52 m or 5 ft).
The liftgate cannot be set below that
minimum and the new setting will
not be recorded.
