the falling liftgate detection feature. Allow
the liftgate to complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before manually closing
the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during
a power open or close cycle, a warning
chime may sound and the liftgate will
automatically reverse direction and move a
short distance away from the obstacle. 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,
manually close the liftgate which will allow
normal power operation functions to
resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the liftgate is
closing, and an obstacle is encountered that
prevents the liftgate from completely
closing, the horn will sound as an alert that
the liftgate did not close.

To change the position the liftgate stops at
when opening:1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power
open the liftgate.

liftgate until the turn signals flash and a
beep sounds. This indicates the setting
has been recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set below a minimum
programmable height. If there is no light
flash or sound, then the height adjustment
may be too low.
Manual Operation
Select OFF to manually operate the liftgate.
See “Manual Liftgate” at the beginning of
this section.
Caution
Attempting to move the liftgate too
quickly and with excessive force may
result in damage to the vehicle. Operate the liftgate manually with a
smooth motion and moderate speed. The
system includes a feature that limits the
manual closing speed to protect the
components.

If equipped, the liftgate may be operated
with a kicking motion under the left side of
the rear bumper at the location of the
projected logo. See "Projected Logo" later in
this section. The remote key must be within
1 m (3 ft).

while in motion use one of the liftgate
switches.

If the engine does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the
system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
